It's a matter of time vs energy and who, not how.

Also for every 50 props that are up for auction in most states the vast majority either redeem postpone BK sell or whatever so most folks hone in on one property spend all this time and energy and it never actually goes to sale.

To avoid this, some GP's find it worthwhile to spend more of their time, energy and resources on raising equity in smaller increments.

By doing this you'll start to see which strategies might better align with your resources (time, money, energy, connections, etc) and your future goals.

He read my one star review of him and called VRBO to complain. 

If your hvac contractor tries to sell you a new furnace by telling you it’s more efficient and over one you may save money via energy savings, less repairs, etc that’s fair.

That doesn't include any maintenance costs or other variables.I regularly argue that solar energy is rarely worth the investment.

So I am not sure whether I really need sources of passive income right now considering that I have a lot of energy that I can spend on investment strategies that require more efforts and energy.

Your clients are motivated sellers.You can NOT convert people who do not want to sell  (below market value) into people willing to sell below market value.The mistake people make (constantly) is their efforts are based on forcing non-motivated sellers to sell, by constant harassment.This is wrong.Instead of mass mailing blanket mailing,  and putting your energy in finding random people and forcing them to become motivated by putting a ton of effort and money into follow-up, you need to focus on targeting the RIGHT people.People who are actually looking for your service.Hopefully, it changes your perspective and you can improve your business.

There are new laws affecting California transactions in 2024, some of which are very relevant to investors and house flippers.According to the California Association of Realtors, starting July 1, 2024 most 1-4 unit properties that are resold within 18 months (aka flips) must disclose:- repairs, renovations, room additions and structural modifications that were performed by a contractor with whom the seller entered into a contract- the name and any contact info for the contractor for any work over $500- any permits obtainedSo you still can be an HGTV star, just make sure you do it by the book. :)Have any of you flipping in the Los Angeles area been affected by these new disclosures?
