If they don't answer my questions, I know they have not read the ad and are just clicking and "tire kicking" or they lack the intellectual focus for me to have any business relationship with them.

Which would be more effective for pitching my Airbnb arbitrage business?

Again even if you have great credit as you start to add more credit cards, mortgages, auto loans to your credit you can also be viewed as "High risk" due to Excessive trade lines in credit or higher DTI - debt to income ratios. 

@Tonio PearceYes you should create a business plan.

This is basically what I made for myself:So every morning I get a report of everything new that hits the market in LA/Ventura, and I can just click the google links, check it out on RedFin/Zillow, and if it seems promising, fully underwrite it (using tools and/or manually), then offer on it.Don't try and come up with an auto-offer estimate, you can't tell the visual quality of the home or how much the construction will be, etc, stick to estimating values of renovated and distressed property in your tools, make it easy to fill those comps/value metrics into an underwriting model/proforma, and let the end users tweak numbers/select comps/etc so they feel confident in everything.

I am not sure what type of real estate investing you're considering, but it sounds like, with your family and busy job, you won't have a lot of time to be hands-on or personally involved. 

I then suggest setting up a bank account where there is auto pay.

We have rentals, home, auto and umbrella with them. 

Quote from @Benjamin Finney: I'm curious what real estate investors and private money lenders like myself use to inform their businesses strategy and predict future market conditions.

I’m an out-of-state investor working on building my online presence, and I’m currently running into an issue with setting up my Google My Business (GMB) account.
