However the AmEx Platinum business offers a big sign up bonus and allows you lounge access at airports (my favorite thing)

Crowdfunding makes real estate easily accessible, however, in regard to institutional/syndicated real estate investments, the advice of an expert who works in the industry every day, knows all the players and their track records, and performs due diligence on each offering is a great benefit to you and comes to you at no cost.

Having access to talk everyday to investors, attend calls where I can talk about my deal and run my numbers makes me so much more comfortable now.

There is a slip/storage available for a boat to access the property.

Not sure how they get access to MLS, but I know in Dallas county the ARB says they have friends who provide access.

Make sure the contractors understand they are responsible to remove snow to access their work.More cutting, prepping, etc. work will typically be done indoors so make sure you hire a contractor who likes to be clean and won’t turn the entire interior into a personal workshop/storage shed.Figure extra $$$ for temp enclosures and heat if you wish to do exterior painting, masonry, etc.It’s darker later in the AM and earlier in the evening so make sure you have a lot of good, temporary lighting so you can maximize the amount of time your guys are working when they are actually onsite.Planon missing a few days here and there due to a “snow day” when guys can’t make it to work due to a snow storm.

Do you think vacationers would view a SFH that does not have beach access or a SFH that is located a mile from a beach as a negative versus a condo that is right on the beach?

I access my clients' books via my QBO Accountant profile.

I tell my sales reps that if the seller is really tough to deal with on the first phone call, then we usually want to pass on it, since if they are that tough just to ask some basic questions, imagine what they would be like when we need access, are negotiating a contract, or God forbid need to try to re-negotiate terms, i.e. ask for an extension, or every once in awhile a price reduction if the repairs a lot more than we originally thought.
