I suspect most who requested cash for keys had previously received cash for keys.What I do instead is explain:- the housing shortage in my market and that an eviction will forever make it difficult to find a quality rental in this market. - I will ding their credit such that all credit cards and other debt will cost them more.- I will keep their security deposit for funds owed.- I will do my best to garnish future wages until their debt to me is paid in full.This has worked 100% time so far.  

You can use bat insulation or spray foam, which has the added benefit of giving you an air-tight seal and also keeps the bugs out. 

@Melissa SejourRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

You’ll learn the ropes on how to be a landlord with a lower risk/higher quality tenant-base. 

In hot markets, some wholesalers and investors use 80-85% of ARV (minus repairs) instead of the typical 70% to stay competitive.A few tips:1.

Don't invest in a market if you can't find a quality PM!

You'll get differing amounts and qualities of leads depending on the type of marketing, but also depending on who you're marketing to and where.

I currently work remotely as a Manufacturing and Quality Manager for an AI infrastructure company based out of the Bay Area. 

I have noticed that as companies they grow, their quality and attentiveness tend to decrease. 

I'm particularly interested in what tactics people have implemented for sourcing quality deals (not the I need 100% financing bs)Would you:1.
