Doing so, removed my cover photo and changed it to a random picture I had in my listing (it wasn’t so attractive).

A loan originator friend of mine and I were having a friendly debate a few months back, and he won: by picking up the phone and randomly dialing 20 random California area code phone numbers, he was in fact able to put >2 more refinances in his pipeline.

Instead of paying an exorbitant amount for rent, I pay a few hundred dollars a month for mortgage on an appreciating asset.I could increase my monthly net income by kicking out my friends and bringing in random people from Craigslist to live instead, but it's much more fun living with people you like.

I would stay away from random people saying that they can do your roof.

Just a few random thoughts,  I feel your pain.  

I think my process has been quite random, I have been marketing out to sellers, I have a small buyers list so for the ones here in Michigan I will give my buyers first dibs, if they don't accept it, then I still have the obligation to find some one who will, so i use craigslist and so on to get the word out and then show the property, the ones out of state I work with a partner on to help sell them.

Maintenance and repairs are much more random and using the percentage is usually pretty accurate for most.

It is always a little disturbing when people seek legal advice from random people who are willing to answer.

In the (random) markets I've looked at so far, I haven't seen new 4-plexes or other small multi-families.
