I like VAs for writing a bunch of offers - I am having my VA do offers, emailing lists, and texting lists if I can find a good text system where its allowed lol. 

Check-Writing and Payment OptionsDo they offer free checks or digital check-writing?

Had a listing go under because the seller had signed an offer to purchase and just walked away from closing without signing. 

Do you consider worst case scenario and base your potential offer based on this? 

I am specifically looking in Essex county, MA because I want to house back close enough to my current W-2 job.

He prided himself on being hands-on, convinced that no one else could do the job as well as he could.One evening, exhausted from another 14-hour day, Michael met with his friend James, a seasoned real estate investor."

I require all of my prospects to fill out a Google form that I link to my job announcement.

This wasn’t a required expense.Property Taxes - $926.88We put in the offer to pay the full years property taxes vs. split them at the time of the sale.

The property was occupied (still is) with 1 tenant that I am now having the exhausting pleasure of evicting. 2yrs later, said tenant continues to try every angle to delay the court granted Marshall’s execution.The “2nd” floor was poorly renovated (bad contractors), new tenant moved in and a year later, another eviction process has started as they lost their job and refuse to move or pay.Stuck with a very large mortgage bill (that I am paying), utilities and making small repairs to keep the property up also noting the casual 311 complaints from both tenants. 

It all started when my wife's college friend offered me an opportunity to invest in a commercial property.
