@Bob Connolly I’ll give him a ring.  

Account Closed The next Dayton REIA meetings are Wed Dec 18 and Wed Jan 15. www.gdreia.com @Mike Schena @Jason Minnich @Ryan BolusI'll look to coordinate something in January for a BP Meetup.

If you go to meet up and search REIA, or RING, you'll find a couple of the groups.

Be sure to get your mortgage lined up first, because if they give you a deal and you waste their time because you didn't get ready to close, you'll get a bad reputation and no one will want to work with you.The Ring Cities of Detroit Metro (any city that touches Detroit), are all "safer" investments than Detroit itself and pretty much offer the best cash-on-cash returns.

I currently live in 3/2 Single Family home that was given to me for my wedding present it needs some work to it.

Hope to meet you soon.Look up "The RING" on meetup.com it's a very active REIA in Baton Rouge that I always recommend to investors in that market!

Quote from @Veronica Gordon: Software would help keep track of leases, maintenance, income and expenses, tenant screening, marketing, and more.You could use a system like Tresta to set up a business phone number that rings in/out from your cell, allows you to text, etc.

I would stick with 2 night minstays for Mon/Tue/Wed during the periods of low demand. 

My wife and I bought a 40 acre property we lived on and based an Ice Sculpting and wedding venue business from for 20+ years.

The bottom line is that you need to get your phone to ring and direct mailing is a great way to do that.
