@J Beard, I understand your concern and agree with you to a certain extent although I don't consider someones reputation to be destroyed because they drive 60 mph in a 55 zone - going over the speed limit is also known to be illegal and could be considered un-ethical.

It’s tedious to get a good list built right now using manual research through public records, but I have programmer friend working on a tool to scrape the public record sites to help me speed up the process.

But the smartphone is usually only equipped with a minimal amount of memory, buying extra memory built in to the smartphone can be expensive, many smartphones have no means of using external memory by default, and good quality photos consume lots of memory.

I'd highly recommend you sitting in one training class for each broker you interview, and judge for yourself on the quality/quantity.

@Devlin Harding  The key is to line up the initial acquisition financing that allows you to leverage your available capital to do more acquisitions than you can on your own, with a lender that is as invested in your success as you are, and can execute fast enough to give you a speed to market advantage.  

Yeah, I would stay away from Phoenix just because of the quality of tenant you are going to get.  

Unfortunately this seems like one of the only viable options for me because of financial restrictions, but that's why I'm looking for any other creative ideas that anyone has so I can speed up my momentum and acquisition rate.

Depending on the quality of the finish work on the slab, it is feasible to keep the concrete as your finished floor and I've seen it done with a faux marble finish that looked great.  

It's just a speed bump.

Vacancy rates, which types of properties rents the best, tenant quality, etc.
