I have asked where else are people finding deals like this and unfortunately I dint have any answers yet.. we shall see.

Many people hire an inspector.

I don't require my agents to join NAR and in fact dropped my membership when I opened my own brokerage.If the situation made sense, I wouldn't necessarily require an agent to join MLS, but it's such a basic tool of the trade, I can't imagine someone who is active in the business going without it.

If your serious about it you should join facebook groups, go to real estate networking events, connect with people who are doing it and ask them questions.

Talk to your tax advisor about how to release your passive activity losses based on your situation.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Rather than hire as many sales people to do follow ups--set up automated text messages, emails, letters, or postcards to be sent to your best prospects.- Podio has really good integration with other services--like RightSignature for eSignature, Google Docs/Drive, Dropbox, Twilio for SMS, Lob for physical mail--either for marketing or other workflows like invoicing, and a ton of other services.
