Having said that, another BiggerPockets member has discovered some new information that I find to be incredibly important information.

Excited to discover more and get to know you all.

As a real estate agent working in the investment space, I’m always looking to fine-tune my approach and discover new ways to find potential deals, whether it's off-market properties, distressed assets, or any other lead sources.Some questions I’m thinking about:What CRM tools have you found the most helpful?

When I had a secondary structure demolished a few years ago, I did discover the lot was zoned that I could rebuild another multi-family building on the lot if I wanted to.

That's the key component that is usually missing when I hear other entrepreneurs/investors say they don't like QBO.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

It really depends on your specific situation.It's good you're thinking about the operational and bookkeeping component for your financial account structure to make things easier on yourself and any financial team members you have or may have in the future.You're ahead of the curve!

By installing our own, we remove the wear and tear and damage the tenants do by moving W/Ds in and out and hooking them up wrong (which is common) and using cheap components that cause leaks and destroy floors and walls.

I haven't been expanding my business with LMHA since the end of 2016 per my posts above so I don't know exactly what changed, but I expect the outsourcing of inspections to private industry + some executive level leadership + replacement of staff with new faces excited to serve the needs of HUD/Landlords/Those In Need has resulted in an agency I will develop more business with.The HCVP will always be a double edged sword for landlords (See Section 8 Bible discussion) but for now I have discovered it is finally worth the effort to participate in the program.I specialize in Toledo's transition neighborhoods, discounted houses on the edge of nicer areas but also on the edge of trash...the Section 8 program allows me to get long-term tenants who are a good business model provided they are consistently managed and visited/inspected for additional "visitors" (relatives and random dogs/cats) and damage/housekeeping which can destroy a home if left unchecked.You need to know the rules, repair and renovate for long-term durability, prepare for inspections thoroughly and keep a team of contractors who will hold those standards...after 8 years we have been through a hundred inspections.

Enjoy discovering the city!
