If you can't give a tenant 10 days on occasion, your margin is too close.

But I do still go out to do it on rare occasions or when I'm bored/in the area.

I have seen prices drop to less than half of what they were a few years before on 2 occasions.

I get down there on occasion.

However, I think I can get through all 300ish contacts every three months if I'm sticking to the power hour.All my contacts start with a call except in the rare occasion I don't have a number - then I'll text through Messenger.  

In fact, I've had several occasions where the Realtor voluntarily LOWERED their commission to help close the deal.

I check their past reviews (as I assume they do mine), and have even had occasions where a total stranger from another state was a friend of a friend on Facebook and we were able to see that connection.  

The text is salesy but I've seen him give free hourish talks on a couple of occasions and he seems to know his stuff.

On occasions when we have had lenders unable to take the first payment until a full payment cycle (be it two weeks or one month) after Close, we normally make a principal pre-payment in the amount of our planned payment as it's in our best long-term interest.

 (100K x 25% to continue VA's 25% guarantee up to the limit) I am 1000 percent positive about this, and have verified with VA on multiple occasions.
