Be aware that in a competitive market like yours, the absentee owners are already getting a lot of offers so it is hard for you to stand out.

A virtual mailbox/office seems like a great solution.Are there any companies that stand out?

This problem will obviously continue to grow.I currently pay the holding company $50/month from each property to cover overhead costs not attributed directly to a property.Couple questions.- Should that $50 get classified as an expense to the property? 

One thing that will stand out is the rules plus best practice for 1-4 unit properties are different than 5 or more units on 1 title.

You'll never know because once you go down that path, every success you experience is too easy to attribute to the training.

I like to think I built this attribute of discipline, hard work, and just overall intensity while serving in the Marine Corps which has generated huge success for me in my professional career after serving.I am from Jersey City, NJ but now currently live in Easton, PA.My Unfathomable RE goal is to first and foremost build a successful RE portfolio of rental property that will generate more than enough cashflow and net worth to give me financial freedom from a job.

I think a lot of quote anti-military people feel the same way: Not anti soldier, just anti military industrial complex)As for putting your picture on the post card if you are in a competitive market if it helps you stand out why not?

But there are a few deals using my own cash that stand out.

It's often attributed to Winston Churchill, but I think there's question he originated it.

Maybe not scientifically, but that just common sense...Now, any claim that the whole thing is a made up fantasy by a left wing conspiracy, is no different than that attributing the denial of global warming to the energy producing corporations.Now, if you guys prefer to bury your heads in the sand, be my guests, it's your choice, but when a bird is peeing on your heads don't claim it's raining.
