Pricing and multi channel approach is very important nowadays

Pricing promotions and more marketing channels!

I guess joining BP is now my official first step in taking a dive to this journey.

I am a new listener to the channel and looking to make my first investment.

I'm assuming my friend has the right to do so since the tenant hasn't paid their utilities, and they are officially no longer a tenant but a squatter until the sheriff comes.

However there tends to one channel that competes more often and more aggressively on rates and fees and that is the broker channel. 

Be sure to go to the calendar of events here on Facebook as most official Bigger Pockets meetups are postedhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/...Also check out Meetup.com (be sure to look for live meetups, not virtual ones)And in Kansas City - Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors is hosting it's 200th meeting Tuesday August 13th.

If you are planning to use a DSCR loan, lenders will want to see a valid lease, utility bill, or official document supporting you are living somewhere else. 

I would recommend diversifying your channel distribution.  

They're also expecting an official offer on the second property soon.If everything goes smoothly I'm obviously glad that my money isn't gone, but I don't think that excuses the lack of communication and inability to respond to LPs.
