If I'm wrong, my apologies.Suggest you spend some time, money and effort on your real estate education before tackling probate (or multi-family residential or high-rise commercial, for that matter). 

I'm a very confident person and have no problem tackling things without other peoples support.I guess I was just curious to see how other people have handled it and what they tell people.

I would have to make sure I knew of a GC or rehab experts in case I wanted to tackle a big fixer deal (know rehab costs and schedule to pass on to the buyer or for me if I buy).

Some big takeaways  for investors at any level are, overcoming fear,  thinking outside the box, 10x effort, and tackling challenges as they come.  

It would be nice to talk to someone tackling the same obstacles to get an insight. 

I'm building my own CRM and SMS management is the first issue I'm tackling. 

Any suggestions on how to tackle that other than making sure I have the money to cover a couple months rent?
