Paid platforms often offer additional features like market analytics, off-market property leads, and filters for investor-specific criteria, giving them a leg up over free options.Exactly, most platforms have to offset cost somewhere because of how expensive it is to keep the data up to date.

So I send them a stupid offer which then makes the realtor get off his chair and send it to their client big waste of time, but that’s the system, I do 10-15 offers a day I run 20-40 Comps a day so @Dustin Allen are you willing to do that for me?

@Mickey Petersen I would 1031 exchange into a larger better cash flowing property or whatever gives you a leg up on your wealth building.

I almost fell out of my chair. 

It was my back being out of alignment favoring that leg.  

Are you purchasing them at full retail value after they're done or are you the one purchase the shell doing the renovation but they're just doing the leg work ? 

Swimming pool filled with wooden marbles, and here I come and I throw 3 steel marbles inside the pool and mix it up real good.Then I will tell you this: "Your mission is to find me the 3 steel balls".Now this is what you all are doing.You plant your butt next to the pool with your legs in the wooden marbles, you pick one bacll, inspect it, is it a steel ball?

She's not going to have any leg to stand on in court if you get that far unless there's some explicit language prohibiting the owner from assigning responsibilities to another legally authorized party, and I'm guessing there isn't if another PM company was maintaining the lease and provisions - and the fact that the tenant was voluntarily working with the other PM confirms the acceptance of an authorized agent even if it's not explicitly stated, the same way if you accept rent from a tenant after a lease expires you imply acceptance of the lease terms continuing (which is why you should always have a holdover provision). 

I think that’s a great first step to do some of the leg work on potential financing for buyers.

It just a matter of learning the info and doing the leg work of going out finding and talking to the people you need to talk to and emplimenting what you have learned.
