It is very dependent on your place, location, and target guest, but I have built my properties' social following to almost 50,000 followers, with 65% direct bookings from that.

@Courtney HamiltonRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

So having a professional site with active social media is a key as it will indirectly attribute to the conversions and your brand credibility.  

One individual needs to make the final decisions.Dispute Resolution: Define and agree on a method for resolving disputes that may arise, such as mediation or arbitration, to avoid litigation.Change in Marital Status: What happens to the ownership if a party gets married or divorced?

BP and virtually all social media has their crooks trolling the site..

You must work at least 750 hours per year in a qualified RE business.So most people who have high-earning W-2 jobs outside of real estate won't qualify.But the unique thing about RE pro status is that even if you don’t qualify but your spouse does, you can both file jointly and claim the losses from your RE investments to offset your other active income together.It's an incredibly powerful benefit if you do meet the criteria.

I equated a car owner to what you insist is invariably an "elderly individual" or a "widow" (as far as I know car owners come in different ages, genders, marital statuses, mental capacities and etc.).

Put up signs, social media posts, and listings.

An idea we have is, I am burnt out from W2 life, and wife makes great money (+$300k) , and I could take the year to repair/renovate, manage, rent, repeat the units in the MF qualifying for REPS status (50%, 750hrs, material participation, etc). 

Atlanta and Houston are my targets.what is the status of the Atlanta tax deed auction now?
