When I first started as a carpenter in VT I worked for a high-end custom design-build firm and all of our guys were actually local white boys.

If you have a plain jane property, you are better off learning how to get repeat customers and partner with local businesses.

You're running a business and knowing your customers to maximize returns is important.

Conversations with a person land so much better than a message thru FF.Also it is helpful to know that most Corporate Housing companies or Insurance Agencies that are trying to find housing for their customers and reach out to you, they do finds leads on FF.  

Or let me know if other ways to incorporate into Real estate efforts.  

And my feeling is for MOST people Solo 401k is sufficient to meet their needs, and an actuary creating a custom plan is “overkill”.  

I’ll definitely start incorporating the idea of practicing with properties on the MLS.

I am a spreadsheet junkie, so of course, I also built my own custom underwriting calculator!  

You can easily incorporate language into your agreement of sale that allows the transfer of the sales contract to an LLC that has not yet been created. 

The key is to be detailed and consistent in your logging.For our clients, we provide a custom spreadsheet to help track activities more effectively.
