I’m eager to hear how your wife used her magic powers to re-guide the flow.

Plus a good granite guy can work magic on slabs.

Not her department but she works some magic for my self employed butt. ;)She also mentioned SBA... which got me to figuring that must be what Wife's cousin is doing also.She said that SBA requires 30% from us... is that correct?!

Renters notice cleanliness and shabbiness, light, wall colors, flooring, countertops, appliances, closets and maybe an ugly light fixture or a nice ceiling fan.Also, there is a magic trowel that is basically a big sqweegie at sherwin williams.  

I don't want the bosses, @brandonturner @joshdorkin to mistake it for advertising ;) Truthful Brice there is no magic area, ppl have problems all over the place.

There is nothing magical about commercial real estate and many folks start with it instead of SFH.  

As such today I started sending emails about these items to tenants, starting with the tenant I have moving out now.Carpet/Wall stains: I advise that they carpet clean or magic eraser any scuffs on walls because little kids inevitably dirty the walls and spill...Utilities: I advise them to ensure they pay their closing payment for all utilities.Trash: I advise them to ensure everything they came there with and in the garage, house, yard, shed, etc. is taken with them.

The magic really happens over time, as more and more people remember you and respond when the time is right for THEM, not just on the day they saw your postcard or sign.Love the story - wish you the BEST, Ryan!

It will not be until you reach your magic number.  

People make out of state investing seem like the magical unicorn of investing, but from my experience, it just caused more headaches and stress than just making it work locally.
