My best contractors over thirty years of flipping were always people I met through networking or other investors or trial and error, never online.

Networking through meetups and leveraging online communities like BiggerPockets can provide invaluable support and insights as you take your first steps.Good luck!

If you give them 30 days to get rid of the dogs, there will be comfort animal certificates in 2 days from an online site.

I as a lender as part of settlement had our servicer unwind some negative reporting.As a sidenote I saw a post online somewhere else where someone who had an owner occupied home for several years relocated for work and teh servicer sent a letter telling them they are not in compliance with their loan because it must be owner occupied for the entirety of the loan even though the loan docs say one year....Again, servicer overstepping their bounds

It all depends on location of course. 1 good thing I have going, there is no restrictions there.

Only on the MLS are you restricted to what a seller or agent for the seller have already etched in their mind. 

But I've hit the annoyance factor most reach in their 50s when owning rental properties about 20 years sooner.I am at work coordinating inspections and post inspection, was the appraisal done and could you email it to me, this lender gave me a 3.25% rate while you locked me at 4.0% LOL all of this and I haven't even started receiving a dime of cash flow.Illiquidity is the best feature of passive real estate investing, the 2nd feature being diversification (among asset types, exit strategies, sub-strategies, geography, risk, sponsors, etc.) you cannot do this if you are actively managing rentals.When you are 65-75 years old planning your estate, do you want to leave your heirs (who probably don't know or don't want to know anything about real estate) a bunch of physical houses, tenants, property managers, mortgages, online logins, LLCs, etc.

I emphasize the importance of utilizing professional photos, videos, and online presence to enhance property visibility.

It truly shows your commitment to provide your current and future clients a better experience.I know that online reviews can take the best of one's head space and it can take a toll on the business.
