Just drive to a high-traffic intersection and count the number of these hastily made plastic signs.The "BSI" matters because it is direct evidence of under-capitalized amateurs trying to get into the game.

I've also just learned about inserting a new plastic pipe inside the main and epoxy lining all the pipes.

@Larry Fried I like your mission as well.

So if someone books a Fri-Sun in the off season, you have to block off days before or after their visit. 

@Karen Margrave Thanks - I've already gotten out some content over in the marketing section@Jillian Sidoti I've reached out to you via PM and sent a colleague request@Larry Fried Really appreciate it!

Then to make matters worse after I’m already discouraged about my efforts as a real estate investor, I come home to find a dead chicken in my front yard wrapped up in a black plastic trash bag.

There are ALWAYS going to be "bigger fish to fry".In each deal, with all of the different moving parts, if someone is more focused with what is on "your arm", than the deal in front of them they need to wrap "their arms" around, then they are taking their eye off the ball and probably not seeing the whole bigger(pockets) picture.

You probably want to have everything planned out up front, but I think you have bigger fish to fry right now: the two biggest challenges you have to tackle  first are finding a deal and finding a contractor.Inventory and supply have been extremely effected by Covid, while buyer activity level is trough the roof, also fueled by extremely low interest rates.

@Mark Fries has a solid point.

I leave available every Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri from 3:15-6:15 pm. pst to talk Real Estate.
