PS is revolutionary because of how it has simplified access to all of the various data points investors need to make a decision and because of this its extremely popular.You do not want to be using a popular lead source to increase deals because everyones chasing the same deals.And nothing will change with there data because there business model forces them to have to buy and license the data they get which means waiting for the county/databroker to send it to them which guarantees anyone using PS data will be behind the counties, only getting a fraction of the leads and getting those late leads the same time as everyone else.How do you get access to the leads first.

I have not had to do that yet.Getting good contractors at decent prices can be a challenge in small towns if you are not close to a larger city.

Securing quotes for properties in flood zones can be challenging and time-consuming (especially if vacant), so it’s unlikely you could have done it quickly.

Challenges?

However, some challenges to consider are the additional paperwork, property inspections, and potential tenant turnover.

I have two: one is my primary residence that I also use as an STR, and the other is a leased rental property that I manage remotely.Since I'm out of town, I'm finding it challenging to manage things like finding a reliable handyman and getting help with staging.

I started this refund request process 12/29/23 and it has been extremely frustrating in its' own right, to say nothing of the challenges that prompted the refund request being made in the first place.

When you sell your primary residence to an LLC and become a tenant, the IRS may challenge this transaction as lacking a bona fide business purpose.

What worked well, and what challenges did you face?

As someone who occasionally works with these investors, I always try to emphasize the challenges that come with real estate like managing renovations, dealing with tenants, and navigating market fluctuations.
