@Sean BrooksI stand by my original statement about it being easy to become a Realtor.I am not laying blame to the Realtor for not getting the deal done, I am laying blame for lack of education to the client.A GOOD Realtor educates their client, a Transactional Realtor takes listings.A GOOD Realtor is able to have effective communication with their client, a Transactional Realtor will talk on their clients behalf.A GOOD Realtor works with reputable brokers, a Transactional realtor goes to one of those 100% Agency's that have no contact with them.I think that Good Realtors will know Good Realtors, and investors and Good Realtors despise Transactional Realtors.Just my opinion.

Check market rents 60-90 days before a lease is up and communicate increases to your tenants.

I'm looking for something that I can hold for the long term and is already running efficiently.

Odesk makes it very easy to communicate regularly with the VA's and I've found that they have been very good at updating me with their progress and asking questions when needed. 

I try to communicate this on the Podcast as well but not sure it comes across!

I graduated from college with a BA in Liberal studies and a minor in Communication.

@Anthony Fleming one of the biggest issues I've found trying to buy from wholesalers using assignments is that they don't educate the seller very well and that lack of communication ends up destroying the deal.Be sure you let the seller know that you will be bringing "your partners" and/or contractors through the home for quick inspections.  

.* Now we can price the rest of the job  Aaron, looks like you have an efficient process outlined for your rehab assessments.

I have worked, quite successfully, for a national home builder as a production manager and with my contacts and sub contractor relations I believe I have the tools and knowledge to build/develop homes efficiently and lucratively.

They communicated with the closing agents for both deals and everything was fine.
