The problem to the solutions of having a window AC or portable on standby is that if your portfolio is large you will have to have $10s of thousands of dollars of ACs for "just in case" moments.

This may drive your premiums down enough to keep insurance in place just in case something unforeseen happens. 

As investors we need to analyze things holistically not just in a vacuum. 

I was just in RentPrep and I saw this: NOTE: The following states are not included in the Nationwide Criminal Search:AL, CO, D.C., DE, GA, HI, IA, ID, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NY, RI, SC, SD, VT, and WYIs that new?

You’ll for sure want (1) a buyer capable of making monthly payments, and having a history of honoring his debts and (2) a PLAN just in case the (smallish) possibility arises that the note is called.

Trash just in front of your property tells you who you need to talk with.

A good broker can communicate between multiple lenders and often times has established relationships within the C-suite levels of multiple lenders that they can make calls on your behalf to "shake some trees" and get things processed not just in a timely manner, but in a manner that is on time based on what you are trying to do.Unfortunately it is not uncommon per se, but knowing where these hang-ups tend to happen and how to time everything based on lenders timelines and processes is where it can be helpful to have 'go to' lenders that you are familiar with, and they are familiar with you to help get things done.Good luck though, happy to help where/if I can.

My name is Justin Springborn, a young buck new to real estate and the Dallas Fort Worth area, looking to purchase my first investment property within the next 6-8 months.

Keep being great 👍 Just wanted to give a vote of confidence to Drew, he has created one of the best property management operations that I have ever seen.Like a commercial jet, he has “fall backs” for any “system failure” with multiple folks covering each roll just in case something is missed by someone.Incredible 🙏

@Justin Eaton is usually coordinating them and we do it once a month or so in Cherry Hill.
