LOL but this route you have only 4 weeks to contact all the sellers MULTIPLE TIMES.- The golden rule in my group is the seller has to have a deal, the numbers work, be willing to sign, be willing to move out no later then 7 calendar days prior to the auction!!!!! 

And of course there would be no pattern of such, say like doing it multiple times...... 

@Deirdre Lizio like any business, you will encounter customers that:1) Appreciate great service and are willing to pay for it2) Appreciate great service, but are price sensitive3) Only care about the lowest price, yet unrealistically expect great service4) Multiple variations of the above...Unfortunately, the majority of us default to #3:(

Buying with an LLC is a great way to safeguard yourself and your property, highly recommended, however, if you’re purchasing through an LLC that was not formed specifically for the purposes of acquiring your investment property, ensure you own more than 50% as LLCs can get complicated with multiple equal shareholders.

Couldn't disagree more.I am the owner of multiple businesses, and I've never had one "make money day 1".  

For example:How well does in-house counsel adapt to different jurisdictions, especially if we’re managing properties across multiple states?

(Interesting that I just came across this old post for the first time.)I’ve used Jerry Feeney’s e1031xchange multiple times.

A few years ago one of the investors who had multiple properties in Manhatan Beach CA, then Phoenix AZ, who has been doing it for 30-40 years told me: " A property does not really cash flow till its paid off"Honestly, I am looking at my properties, and half of my properties cash flow anywhere from 800-1k, but the remaining dont cash flow at all..Honestly, I cant say that even those that do cash flow 800-1k per month do not really make a big impact because a tenant moves out, I have to clean/fix, etc.

Note:  Not all brokers are equal, so you really have to interview several to find who you're looking for to partner with.3.

So multiple eyes and local expert providing local cost and input on lifespan.Here is an example that has a part that is more expensive in my market than other markets (unlike most parts that are the same everywhere, so in this case your cost should be significantly less due to both cheaper part and cheaper labor): $1600 40 gal water heater installed (this is good price for a plumber, a little high for a handyman) with expected life of 12 years (i have some that go 20 years and some that die in less that 10 years (mostly rheem die in less than 10 years), 12 years is fair life expectation
