I've also found through trial and error that a contractor might be good on one job, but then disappear or completely fall off the grid.

Through trial & error I have learned how to support this specific rental strategy but it can take a bit more attention for those who self-manage.

@Ross HamiltonAny "revolutionary new real-estate investment service" that expects to bilk me out of thou$ands of dollars, up front, without offering a limited free-trial sends goose-alarms down my back and will get my spidey-sense tingling faster than a hound-dog licks its rear.  

I did a free trial with foreclosure.com but I've read that sites like that may not be as up to date with current pre foreclosures and that most likely people have already been contacted.

@Steven MitchellWell I tried this service in February 2019, for a seven day trial period for $3.95...

MJ Edwards I have started my free trial with ReiPro.

There’s a 7 day free trial and then $100 per month but well worth it.

Hey @Jason mcvey here is the trial link: http://flipstersoftware.com/lo...FYI there are different levels of this when you go to purchase it.

I would love for this to work out for them but in the back of my mind it seems more like a trial run to prepare to successfully close a deal using the NACA program somewhere down the line.Thanks

The truth is, you could read 100 books and still not know enough because certain things need to be learned through trial-and-error.
