Everything else is manual (email, writing checks from the bank, ect).Also open to any suggestions if you are using something that you think would fit these needs.Thank you in advance!

If you're only looking to have 1 property overtime I might not be the best fit for you because everything rely's on that 1 property. 

The integrations we setup for you plus the drip campaigns of texts, emails, ringless voicemails, and direct mail pieces to automatically follow up with sellers may make it a good fit for you Are you just cold calling currently to generate seller leads?

As long as the furniture is comfortable and fits your market, it should work well.

If you can seller finance a property in your neighborhood, that's a huge win! 

Just need to spend a year somewhere I may have no desire to live.Hybrid Plan:Keep researching out-of-state markets and act if a great deal appears.Move back to LA, live in Airbnbs in to get a feel for neighborhoods (open to suggestions), and house hack once I find a deal.Would love to hear from those who’ve house-hacked in LA or NYC or started with out-of-state rentals—what would you do in my shoes?

Look for a location with low crime, then look for the neighborhoods with the best schools.

I try sending a video or doing a live video walk-through with them so they can get a better idea of the layout, condition, neighborhood, etc.2.

Congrats on your lot purchase in an awesome Chicago neighborhood like Humboldt Park.

Sometimes even neighborhoods can vary street by street, so there's always a lot to learn!
