Generating Leads:First, things first: (1) there are opportunities available on the market, (2) you do not need to become best friends with a real estate agent BUT you do need to have your stuff together; before you call the agent, make sure you have your financing in place & that you have figured out how much cash you will need to make the purchase.

I own 100 year old brick buildings and they need stuff. 

I have dealt with this kind of stuff in the past. 

I’m skipping some stuff here because certainly maybe your local lenders will also let you get a nice duplex on an FHA at a good rate - if that’s the case ignore what I said.

I guess the thermostat and water heater stuff is totally fine. 

It was over the course of a couple of weeks of doing other stuff, but I would go out and pick the weeds out of the lawn by hand. 

Stuff I can do myself.

And I'd love to grab a coffee sometime when it's socially acceptable again, and when I have a better grasp on this stuff to make better use of your time.

This sounds like some CSI stuff!

I’ve seen stuff sell lately that’s way over priced.
