I have spent hundreds of hours on the phone with Safeguard, attorneys, other investors and real estate professionals dealing with non performing notes and deteriorating real estate. 

But then it was a nightmare of communication, we soon realized that we had to do a bunch of songs and dances to convince them to sponsor our deal, it took 4 or 5 days for them to make time to sit down with us only to tell us that we needed to schedule another meeting in another 4 or 5 days to get Tyler on the phone and let us try and convince them to sponsor us and by that time someone else was awarded the deal and we lost out.

They’ll handle tenant screening, maintenance, and rent collection, ensuring things run smoothly while you focus on growing your portfolio.Ultimately, starting local and self-managing is a common path for new investors, but outsourcing property management or investing remotely can work well with the right systems in place. 

Just send me your email and phone. 

DM me if it would be easier to just have a phone call and we can try to narrow down (eliminate options) so you have a 1-2 to focus on and research. 

How many people hours at what pay, plus cost of buying lists, plus skip tracing, plus phone/texting charges, plus office overhead and so on and so on.Noobs think texting is cheap to free ;-) 

@Briar Blake @Sean GallagherAfter hurricane Ian we didn't have electricity or phone service.

You'll really need to screen your property manager/contractors.

It’s humbing and frustrating, but it also teaches you those guardrails you’ll want next time.. like thorough screening, a solid lease agreement that sets ground rules upfront, and maybe even setting aside a bit more cushion in reserves.Chicago’s got plenty of investor-friendly pockets.

While I want to work with investors, do much more volume, and am okay picking up the phone and making calls (he is not).
