About three minutes from sale, those previously mulling about start to congregate towards the old guy and shake the hands of others that they see there every sale.

My husband is my right hand man and we know a lot of subs here.

Can you connect me with a buyer who will take this good rental off my hands for a fair price?

Once the application is approved, I offer the rental to the applicant and give them 24 hours to put money in my hand.

@Jared Viernes Cash on hand, I could put down around $40k.

- It's only good for food haha).The quotes came back as such: $5500, $6400 and $7800 for a new 3 ton unit and installation..I was appalled as these prices didn't sit right with me so I decided to take matters into my own hands and do some on the ground research since I just so happened to be in Houston that weekend.They say your network is equal to your net-worth so I immediately reached out to my network of investors and got the contact of a formidable handy man in the area.We were able to cut out the multiple middlemen and go straight to the wholesale distributor (cutting off all middle men would mean going straight to the manufacturer but it's not possible to buy one off units from them).I paid $1000 for a brand new 3 ton unit and was charged $500 for the labor of the handyman...Needless to say, I'll be working with this handyman for future projects and repairs..Total cost - $1500 and 2 hours of my timeTotal savings - ~$6000Because of my spidey sense and network, I was able to save a ton of money, form a new relationship in the process, acquire a connect with the wholesale distributor and write this article..

I used to live in Austin, TX and when I moved away, I decided to try my hand at renting my house with a property manager.

Instead of saving for down payments, I'm saving for renovation budgets, I guess, but it's still very limiting.I'm bankable and have a pretty solid foundation of understanding of how all of this works, with a handful of rentals in place and a handful of flips under my belt.

I don't get the sense that the previous owner actually knew about this as he was a very "hands off" owner of the property and was informed by the house cleaner about the puddle on the floor.

Hand them out to everyone you meet, leave them in credit card slots at gas stations, put them on corkboards, anywhere.
