So far I can think of:  - Using agency resources to get my RE license - Trying to make connections with agents who work with investors (as opposed to typical homebuyers)  - Learning the local market through osmosis/exposureAny ideas and/or insights would be well appreciated. 

If we buy NPN's in the area, it might make more sense to liquidate these at sales as opposed to taking them back as REO's.

If the letter was later returned to me, I’d take pics of its exterior, and email those to the tenant at that time - so the tenant was fully aware of everything without delay, and in apparent good faith from me.Overkill?

For a Lead Safe certificate (which shows that lead dust levels are within tolerances and has to be re-done periodically, as opposed to Lead Free, which shows that there isn't any lead to worry about and doesn't have to be renewed) almost all scenarios can be remediated by cleaning or repainting (followed by cleaning, of course). 

Didn't move any exterior walls and added more value through converting from a 2 bed/2 bath to a 3 bed/2 bath. 

I've found a lot more success working with newer brokers as opposed to experienced brokers, who, rightly so, have a lot of preferred buyers that they're initially bringing all of these deals to. 

There's no point in idly waiting - we have travel bins ready to go with things like window screening, exterior trim paint, gate latch parts - they're always broken, deck screws, toilet replacement parts, outlet covers, etc. 

We hired a General Contractor for an exterior back wall stabilization.

As opposed to suburbs where generally you're going to see a higher % of homeownership.I know there is a section about the rent by room strategy in the book "The House Hacking Strategy".

Born and raised in New York; I have been working for a contractor for a few years now and have owned my own exterior cleaning business for 4 years as well.
