I’ve offered a discount for the next three bookings.

I think the reason most people "fail" or never start boils down to lacking one of these three things or a combination of them:A strong "why". 

Previously I had one property and one bank account but now I have three- one just finished a rehab and the third the rehab is underway.Two use a PM but the third is rent by the room an a PM won’t take it.So- now I need to organize my expenses and have looked at avail, rentredi, apartments.com, Rentastic and baselane.

Remember, they can always refer themselves😊Now, make it a goal to call at least 5-10 of these people EVERY day and ask a MAX OF THREE off the list below of who they know that:Just inherited a homeHad a loved one pass awayIs behind on their mortgage or tax paymentsHas a relative that can’t take care of their house anymoreHas a house they’re having trouble sellingIs facing bankruptcyKnows a probate attorneyKnows a bankruptcy attorneyetcWhy only three off the list per contact?

Try interviewing at least three managers.1.

The first experience they select three tenants for me.

So I would like to get the opinion of some experienced investors.My goal is to buy (3) three to four multifamilies.I inherited a 3 family fully paid off and own my current home.Between the two I have roughly 550-600k in home equity.  

Live in one unit and rent out the other three.

Stationed there almost three years, sold with profit and tax break for how long we lived in the house.
