our county list of instruments starts at abandonment (6 different ones) and goes through the alphabet to writ execution, including 12 affidavits and a couple amended ones, lots of amended items and ASGTs!

And are they a good cash flow instrument?

I don't necessarily buy into that completely because logistics is becoming largely automated.

Unlike most industries where you can automate a lot of the process, property management will always require people on the ground and in the field.

Get on the phone talk to some potential sellers, see what they have to say, you can learn from the people you don't rent to or buy from. you can always automate after a few weeks or a few days even.That is NOT to say you should waste your time showing properties to tire kickers.

I have pretty big goals for our business and I need to be well educated to be instrumental in making them a reality.

These IoT devices (leak detectors, smart locks, HVAC systems, smart lights, thermostats, etc.) all can be integrated to trigger automation flows for property mangers that can make maintenance ticket management automated, improve property manager to resident communications, automate renovations and unit flips on resident move out, and even craft resident tailored experiences.

Anybody ever thought of using their REI money from Wholesaling or Flipping to buy automated Businesses instead of investment properties?

Please let me know if other investors have found a more automated way of running their wholesaling business.

If you don't have access to your local MLS (#1 choice) use a site like Redfin and use the records for closed sales, not automated values.
