I would love to hear what you all use to maximize time and efficiency and success.

Extreme weather or the uncovering of more problems is fair, whereas lack of organization and communication certainly is not.

It would look good on your paper and would look "better" when you introduce yourself to future clients that you have million things to back up your real estate license, but certainly don't need it. with real estate, you have to have good communication skills, understanding situation and how to handle it(problem solving), know how to control your stress, learn how to take care of clients under stress, analyzing, CALCULATION (like mentioned on thousands of bp podcasts) and network well. 

Our agent recommended a lender she works with often who she has been adding to communications with local property listings. 

@Calin Segarceanu My best advice is to:1) Find an insurance broker who is licensed in all 50 states2) Narrow those insurance brokers down to who has a person who specializes in working with investors3) Create a relationship with that person/brokerage to maximize your portfolio efficiency and minimize the amount of time you have to worry about insurance during an acquisition.Feel free to message me for more suggestions!

I contacted the person, who communicated with me over the course of several days and insinuated she was the owner.

There are plenty of people who manage their own properties remotely, but if you end up somewhere and go into a comms blackout for a few days (all kinds of reasons why) you have no way of knowing if there is a problem, or worse, you had potential renters ready to move in and suddenly you stop communication.

We are just trying to figure out the most efficient search criteria to invest in at this point.

It clearly communicates a brand’s values and considers the needs of the end user and its impact on the wider community.

I have financing ready, I am ready to submit offers, I know what I am looking for and communicate it.
