It is 75% a people business and 25% about the physical real estate.

All I can say is the more spread out your buildings are the harder it is to physically get to them and time is money.. spending it driving between several SFH miles apart makes no sense to me..

I'll gladly exchange a few hours of physical labor to pick the brain of an investor with 25 years of experience (Lesson 2: Come from a place of service when looking to work with a mentor).After a day of driving, loading/unloading the truck, we were approaching home, when my investor friend mentioned that he was looking to shift a property out of a portfolio. 

Building relationships and trust take time and physically seeing the person I think helps.What question(s) did you ask to start a conversation about the possibility of them investing with you? 

I would like to see a physical therapist, dialysis unit or a primary care physician become my next tenant. 

I look forward to the physical copy of the book, but since the hospital is slow today, I am halfway though the book that I downloaded digitally!

Not saying it would happen but it is a possibility and we just made it a business decision moving forward to always get the writ unless the tenant gives us the physical keys.

Or is it considered more "valid" if its a physical fax copy?

Where your lender is physically located is up to you.

@Dymond Shafer Some of this is state-specific but usually my first step is to get physical control of the property.
