"When I think of Jesse Rook, I think of someone who is polite, patient, caring, selfless, and the type of person I would want to work with when buying and selling real estate.Born (in New Mexico) and raised in Grand Rapids, MI, Jesse is a native to the West Michigan area and brings with him years of experience of the ins and outs of neighborhoods.What sets Jesse apart from other agents is that he puts his clients first and himself second.

Bonus #2: if you send cards or do cold calling and use VA, have a script for people who are not looking to sell, but to buy more - those are also cash buyers often.

Other lead gen methods are cold calling, social media, SEO (direct people who google "sell my house fast" to your website), signs and bill boards, and whatever methods you can use to let people know, YOU ARE BUYING PROPERTIES AT A DISCOUNT BUT WILL CLOSE FAST WITH CASH.

I had spoken to my wife and come up with the "magic number" - which was how much money do we need set aside to make this work. 3.

When you set your rates, I don't believe that the lodging taxes etc, are included in the pricing.

@Llewellyn ClarkeIf you don't have the money you can set up a payment plan with the IRS.

Be sure that you have lots of time and a good set of drawings so that you can make sure your sub-contractors are doing the work correctly.

All that said one of the things like about these smaller markets, is just less overall competition and the ability to kind of set your own comps, while it hasn’t sold yet so I could be wrong, it was hard to comp tbh, but this town (about 1.5 hours from dc) is growing rapidly, my parents bought a house for 350k in 2019 now worth 600k.

I focus on Columbus, Ohio, which has seen significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up operations, driving up property prices and job opportunities.

Otherwise having the tenant setup billpay with their bank (which would mail you a check) is still really common, too.If you want help setting up a spreadsheet also feel free to reach out, my colleague Fred is managing units himself with spreadsheets while I'm building software, and we can share his system.
