In the rural MN markets I work in I believe my "secret sauce" is all about my out-bound efforts be it cold calling, community networking or driving for dollars (yes, in that order).Also financing may be a bit tougher at first but with work to connect into local banking for portfolio lenders the coin will flip and you should have a much easier time on the $ side than major markets.

@David Olmos - one a day for 15 days is weak sauce!

I think finding a way to tap into off market deals could be the secret sauce.

My intuition tells me the secret sauce of your model is with third party partnerships.My comments are only meant to generate thought and not to crush dreams.

And this is the secret sauce.

. :)Other songs which technically aren't techno but worth it too:- Barbra Streisand ... by Duck Sauce- Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger ... by Daft Punk- One More Time ... by Daft Punk- Cascade ... by Hyper- Electro Lude ... by Hyper- tracks 4 through 11 of the album "Drive" by The Crystal Method.

Legally there must be access to it-of course, so We built a wood frame from the house- think lattice/trellis look with better support to the panel box and 15 foot deep along side of house. boxed in the actual panel with a swing door for access- very easy. we created a small very nice garden area with plants and shrubs, growing tomatoes and peppers. sorry for no pic -sis is out of state-

But when you get someone to clean the fridge thoroughly that requires pulling out all the shelves, buckets, crisper etc...to wipe down the stains, the BBQ sauce drips etc...you see the damages.

Any insights from BP members as to the whether or not there is wisdom in making this my first ever RE transaction or not and what the $2000 secret sauce is would be appreciated.

Just like so many here on BP teach, this business is SOO much less about hype and finding that "secret sauce" as it is taking daily consistent action towards your goals!
