We self managed from 1.5 hours away while working and had some occasional hiccups. nothing that soured tenant relationships.

Tim does a 2 hour call once a month and occasionally appears on the daily coaching calls.

I dont give time for free I give time on the open forums and I might occasionally engage someone on PM if they are exceedingly polite and or have subject matter that I might be interested in at the time.

To post by PIN you need someone trained to run out a metes and bounds legal where with grantor/grantee you just need to be able to spell, and occasionally that's too hard to do.Curing a defect generally requires more than just a corrective deed, even assuming the party you need it from is willing to sign.

They will occasionally advertise basic washer and dryer units at great prices to get people in the store and then upsell them.

An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.Inspectors can vary DRAMATICALLY in their experience levels, and their thoroughness, and even the best inspectors will occasionally miss important issues (nobody's perfect).Therefore, each time I buy a property, I don't use one home inspector, I use SEVERAL layers of inspection done by SEVERAL pros.Yes, I use a regular home inspector, but I also have an experienced plumber scope the sewer line on EVERY property before I buy.

I want to finish my post with this quote from Jeff Cunningham “It’s better to be consistently good than occasionally great” Would love to hear everyone’s opinion on this topic!

I agree with @Chris Seveney: You won't know until the opening of the auction if the sale got postponed, canceled, bankruptcy, loan modification, loan paid off or a number of other things have happened.If the "auctioneer", we use the term "Trustee", learns of a bankruptcy filing after the auction happens and if the bankruptcy is determined to be valid by the judge, then the "winning bid" gets their money back and it's as though the auction never happened.However, if the bankruptcy was not valid, the Trustee will determine if the winning bid proceeds or if they redo the auction. in my court house buying days occasionally ( this was oregon and Washington Vancouver market of WA.) the trustee would either record the trustee's deed or send it to us and I would run it over and record it..

I know that sometimes that will be LESS than the market rents are increasing and occasionally faster than market rents increase.

I've have had the occasional occurance where the new escrow company was not well organized and I've had to resend items or have items redelivered.
