When closing in States that are attorney driven and the buyer has their own attorney and the seller has their own.. these are basically clusters in my mind.. way to many people in the pot and very inefficient.. but its the customs.. so know you have for one transaction a listing broker a selling broker an attorney repping the buyer an attorney repping the seller , the buyer and the seller... 6 people to deal with... ugh...

Also if you put a big pot on the front burner see what it bangs up against and figure that into your plan.

I would tell them you will pay them a premium and handle all maintenance during that time to sweeten the pot for them!

The next bubble is going to pop and we need to scale the teams to educate and train across the US so all sensors are out for the "honey pot" areas thick with deals!

And I bought in Palo Alto in 1983 for 185k  but PA was more of a melting pot.. the grade school my kids went to there were kids from over 20 countries.

So what you are left with is a pot luck of playing the lotto to land a decent PM.As your time gets busier which is what my clients deal with that make high incomes you look to larger investments that have scale or more hands off investments.

After gathering up enough information I have just purchased my first duplex in the Boise Bench area.
