@Mark Sinclair Yes I am.

Let me know if my plan is on the mark or way off course.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

I also think The Book on Negotiating Real Estate by J Scott, Carol Scott, and Mark Ferguson contains a ton of information that is not regularly discussed on RE podcasts, other RE books, or forums, so it has the potential to teach you a ton. 

I currently own $970k in real estate and I'm looking to purchase two multifamily properties this year so that I can cross the $1.5-2M mark in real estate investment.

@Amanda JarrettWithout the user (the agent) notifying you, or the MLS having a built in email to you there is no way to automate it.Perhaps you could just load up all their listings in a browser that opens with a bunch of saved tabs to see all their mls listings then have a VA go through a mark down the changes they see of pending, etc and take action from there

@Mark Durham Thanks for the information.

I would also check out Mark Kohler Tax and business book.Originally posted by @Grayson Spittel:Have read through a few "decent" small multifamily books, however, wondering if there are any recommendations out there that other people have found helpful?

@Mark DurhamThanks for your response, it sounds like the CONS would be no worse than any other form of funding a real estate deal.
