Do great work, stay excessively organized, create a marketing plan and execute it consistently, take care of your people, donate a small portion of your profits to your favorite local charity, stay involved in your community, participate in any local city council/HOA meetings regarding rentals, understand your industry and be able to articulate what you do, how you do it, and why you are better than the other companies in your area.If you can keep that up, you'll do great!

I'm also seeking to identify the most-premium development site in this area - ideally something with a great view from 7 story buildings.I just received the official notice of the first Snohomish county council public hearing, April 15, on this rezone and reposted it in the BP FilePlace at http://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/ChrisNewman/file/notice-of-public-hearing-on-hwy-99-corridor-high-density-rezone If any other BP folks are interested in this major new multi-family development opportunity, they should either attend the hearing (and gain some experience in political activism) or at least email their support comments to the council address that's listed within the document.

Hey everyone-I got a lead on a home in a nice subdivision in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

I was thinking maybe the British Beer Co in Hyannis or the new Hogs Island Brewery in Orleans. 

A board comprised of members designated by individual council persons as well as some appoint at large and adjunct members representing the greater city of San Antonio.
