Hi Franky,If you are looking for a smaller, hands-on company with a more all-inclusive approach, reach out to me or someone at my company, Blue Meadow Properties.I have also personally met Jerry Ta with PropertyCare.

I have done plenty well following some basic real estate investing guidelinesIt's too long to repost how I do that so I'll put it here: It's about the 6th post downhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311-buying-se...I take the Balou approach from the original Disney movie "Jungle book" "if you act like that bee acts, uuh, uuh, you're working too hard".Set up your Systems & Procedures, Analyze your market, put together a marketing plan, work your market, close the business and Repeat

The customer service representative says we are still in the underwriting phase and it hasn’t been brought to the investors for final approval and this is the last thing holding it up.

GRM may be valuable to indicate value based on an Income Approach, but my understanding is that a Comparison Approach (comps) is typically used for 2-4 unit multi-family. 

It's a lot of work, but then you mail that list 8 times and buy some houses, hopefully.I'm trying the shotgun approach - EDDM hitting whole neighbourhoods.

We've lived in the house for the past 6 years all with the goal to turn it into a rental someday, and that day's fast approaching!

This is the "burned out landlord" approach where you can pick up several properties at a time... or perhaps their whole portfolio at a discount, and they are likely to understand what you are looking to do so there is less to educate the sellers on.Hope this helps... good luck!

As we approach Spring/Summer, I'm thinking of shutting down the boiler again.

I walked into the office of the Boss and I asked how I could better approach my target market.

This is a great marketing approach.
