I have 7 MTR and my income is 1.7x my long-term rates ($1200 vs $2000), but that is very specific to my properties, my location, my business model, etc. 

If I ever have specific questions, I look through google and then use the BP forums as another source.

Also, which choice is better for you highly depends on what your real estate goals are and the experience level & skillset of the specific agent.Traditional agent and Redfin Agent could essentially be the same thing in many cases.

What specific details do you look for in a lead (e.g., financial info, property condition)?

But before I even get into identifying specific properties, I need to first get smarter about some of the other things I put in my post. 

I would be much more specific on pricing.

@John Lasherjust curious what specifically you're looking to do - GP or LP? 

People who have service dogs (or horses, as these are the only 2 service animals) that are genuine have no issue disclosing that on the front end and can answer the 2 questions easily - is the animal necessary for a disability, and what specific tasks has the dog (or horse, if you're getting one of those) been trained to perform? 

I can also share some great resources and guides to get you started.Let me know what specifically you're looking to learn, and we can set up a time to talk.

In terms of renovations it really doesn't matter much from a tax perspective.The bigger question is what are your specific investment goals?
