From a business perspective, we have got better at picking people and we're small enough that we can discriminate, though not on racial, religious, or gender grounds - just certain personality types that ring alarm bells, based on our experience.

Not everyone will be open minded to you willingly throwing your hat in the ring to try for bigger things.I have realized that you can only have conversations about vision and dreams and lots of entrepreneurial “what if?”

., get yourself in perfect ready state, keep a ring binder notebook, have everyone's phone in your contacts, ask for help3.

My phone rings off the hook for properties I haven't owned in YEARS.My favorite strategy is to pretend I'm really old and cannot handle my own affairs.

IIRC the ring floodlight cam is wired only.

Also I have not included all the money I paid carpenters, drywallers, handymen, painters, yard cleaners, junk haulers, assorted helpers, property manager, so I doubt if the $555 is realistic.All day today the phone was ringing off the hook and I have 3 parties “very interested” who said they gross 3x the rent or more and no animals, they agreed to complete the rental app TODAY or TONITE and submit it.

My furthest is 2300 miles away.If parties are a concern, a ring doorbell and noiseaware will help immensely. 

Deal finding can be competitive but they’re still out there so just have to stick with it. 1000% recommend attending Richmond RING which I’d say is the best meetup here where you get around 100ish people that attend with all levels of experience.
