I work a full time job but only 3 day a week.

Then one day a friend invited me and a couple others to lunch and we talked investing the whole time.

I’ve been analyzing about 10 properties per day as part of my homework using the BP rental property analysis calculator as a Pro member.

My AC guy a lot of times doesn’t answer the phone and then when he does he’s ready to work on my project the same day as in replacing the whole unit. :)Also it really depends a lot on who you are referring your subs to.

I have heard similar stories from other folks on how some mgmt companies are offering lower fees, but at the end of the day, a lot of nickel and dime stuff gets added back into the mix and that 20% fee becomes a lot larger.

Going for the hard work isn't always the most money in your pocket at the end of the day. As

The last two meetings were at a Clarkston property and on the same day as another REI group that I go to. 2) There is an REI group that is based out of Pullman that meets maybe once every three months, I have met a few Moscow contacts and while the people are great they mainly focus on Pullman.  3) Coeur d'Alene REI group. 

I’m hoping, I made her moving day a hell of a lot easier than I should have.

@John Neff If you are interested in developing partnerships, perfecting communication skills or raising capital as I am, three books are top of mind and I don't think have been mentioned:Raising Capital for Real Estate by Hunter ThompsonFlip The Script and Pitch Anything by Oren KlaffOf course, as mentioned already "Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss is a phenomenal book and The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner is great for a new investor.Finally to take back your day as all this Real Estate Investing begins to occupy all your time: "Own the Day" by Marcus Aubrey is a great read.

Now its time to convert... practice call scripts at least 4-5X/week and speak to as many leads per day as possible.These calls should be focused around building and maintaining relationships.
