Knowledge is power. 

@Sebastian Nadal for background checks, I use stessa/rent prep that’s available to us through biggerpockets tools.

Unfortunately, you have no power over the tenant until you own the property.

I used free tools like Zillow and Redfin to come up with a home value, asked him some questions about the condition of the home, made him an offer, and he accepted it.

What tools or strategies are you using to stay ahead of the game?

By predatory investment, I mean to imply that there is a power issue at work here.  

It gives you the power of a professional real estate bookkeeper but it's simple enough for someone who is not a fan of bookkeeping to stay on top of things because the User Experience is well thought out.

This is some of the most desirable and difficult to develop real estate in the country, owned and operated by many of the most powerful and affluent individuals and corporations on earth.

This successful flip showcased the power of strategic upgrades and partnership, resulting in a solid return on investment.

Do you use bigger pockets tool?
