Otherwise, these texts can get lost in your personal phone, mixed in with your family and friend's messages, or accidently deleted.As a small landlord myself, I'd rather not force my tenants into an app - I’d rather keep it simple with texting while automatically logging those texts in a central place (landlord dashboard) for record-keeping and a clear paper trail.

I have alerts on the Zillow App, and after walking the property with my agent, I’ve made a cash/no inspection offer within 3 hours of list on the last 2 I’ve seen, and was able to snag 1, but lost out on the other when someone acted faster.

I owned real estate before but lost it all in the GFC. 

On the flip side, I am in the process of acquiring over $1.5M in defaulted DSCR loans form borrowers who are your age that put 25% down but had no money to fix any of the problems  = lost the renters and walked from the property.

It’s easy to get lost in the sea of YouTube videos and conflicting advice.

While this means that we are priced out of a lot of flips, to date we have never lost money on a flip (though we have come close even using this approach). 

Quote from @Bret Hudson: I lost a lot of trust for biggerpockets podcast when started using dealmachine and batchleads (same company) for sponsors too.

I heard a story today of a condo owner whose entire complex was lost.

By capping the taxable value increases for homestead properties, local governments may need to compensate for the lost revenue by increasing taxes on other types of properties, such as commercial buildings and rental properties.

Fortunately, we didn't lose money on this property but just broke even.
