All they see is a 10% increase on a weekend, or month over month, and they call it price gouging.  

Spent a summer weekend hunting for on-market deals on days off with a realtor.

:) Happy weekend! 

I have had 3 people email me this weekend who are over leveraged and also cash strapped in that they have repairs of $5k or more, o cash to repair and without repairing cannot release unit.

Is there a way to reduce the amount of hours so you have more time for other activities?

Put in about ten grand and a summer's worth of weekends in sweat equity and the deal is very sweet.

In that scenario - I would worry that our long term renters would not like that strangers are walking up their steps and entering the doorway 5ft from their front door every weekend. 

One of many examples, Easter Weekend, just those 3 days, I had to manually adjust my price down 20%.  

For REP status federally, you must meet two requirements: work 750+ hours in real estate activities and spend more than 50% of your total working hours on these activities during the tax year.

Use your evenings and weekends for follow-ups and networking.Sending text messages could fit into your schedule too!
