Ramp up your landlord skills.

At this point the work has to be diy [ we've got some kids and grandkids our sons age with skills in painting, electrical work, flooring, sanding, etc] and the budget is tight.

I'm trying to be more systematic and organized about my business, and I'm checking to make sure that I am providing all the necessary disclosures to my tenants.  

Also, I apologize for the haphazard way this post is organized.

There's quite a bit that overwhelmed me:Their offer is basically to set up a lead gen site for us, optimized for SEO etc, they've just offered to write blog posts once a week for seo, set up all of our social media profiles and manage them - Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Slideshare etc, create white papers for us, set up landing pages for all our ads, organize retargetting ads to "stalk people around the web" in their words, set up mailchimp mailing system with branded email templates and create a autorespondor to educate our buyer over time.....It all seems to be online stuff.What they're offering seems like it would take me a hell of a lot of time and if I outsourced it, probably the same amount of money.

As a software trainer for judiciary entities in Louisiana, I tend to have my audience train other members of the organization as proof their understanding the concept.

Sadly, all I have to offer right now is the opportunity for others to hone their counseling skills. :)   That said, there may be partnership opportunities... and I will definitely need architects, builders, etc.Thanks for the recommendation on the REIA!

I heard a Biggerpockets podcast where this seasoned real estate investor shared some negation tactics and he said if you want to know if your negotiation skills are good, go to a bar and convince someone to buy you a beer...

Even a skilled real estate investor can get themselves in trouble, and sometimes solely because they prepared their own documents.  

Be prepared with that document AND single page supporting material - your resume, your real estate investment experience, the project financials, comps, etc etc etc ... all organized and kept in a folder UNLESS your investor requests that info.
