I'm trying to get organized for the improvements that need to be done on the property immediately (roofing and electrical) PLUS inheriting and also searching for tenants outside of my friends/family for the first time.

Try to get your projects organized as much as possible upfront.

Buy it at a cheap price, actually close it, then you can do whatever you want with it, including marketing to your investor list or even slap it on the mls to invite the most traffic from investors.

I’m going to organize a meetup or two this summer, so hope you choose to join!

The local cities will be forced to add traffic signals for the higher amounts of traffic and that just extends your daily commute.The fact is that McMansions in the outer burbs are not a good investment.  

Commercial value-ad is a completely diff game, but a lot of the fundamentals are the same-- distressed sellers, poor planning, repairs etcEither way this stuff is fun to me and I'm passionate about it, I just need to get organized, and figure out a new game plan (And stick to it). 

I run a property management company and it's painful to get checks instead of automatic payments directly to the account. 2) One of the reasons, I wanted the payments to go on my website is that I thought it would help with traffic and ranking in SEO.

I use AirBnB and VRBO exclusively for booking and calendar syncing, but generate traffic to those pages with a website as well.

I find that it is a great indicator of dicey neighborhoods where there might be some bad things going on but I will tell you that I only completely reject a property if it is a heavy red or in a large geographic crime area because I have found that an area can have some orange but it could be that there was an incident or two or suspect traffic that was stopped in the area but the crimes weren't committed there, etc.

This led me to gather the necessary information to start an organization that would be the envy of the industry.
