But if you do what successful investors do frequently enough and consistently enough you too will be successful.

My strategy consists of Buy and hold SFR and Rehabbing SFR.

Be patient and consistent with offers.

What does a good team consist of?

My brother (who lives in San Diego) and I (live in Chicago) have partnered on a 2 unit buy-and-hold rental property (consisting of 2 single family houses on the same lot) in San Diego in 2013.

As Im growing an evolving my business the question about generating a more consistent cash flow (and not relying solely on closing on deals) is constantly jumping out at me.So my question is, are there activities (or even ideas) anyone is doing with their business to keep money flowing in outside of closing on deals?  

Closing on average 2-3 a month as long as we're consistent on marketing. 

Be consistent with what you do and make lots of bids.  

They do pay for their own utilities, but my question is ; does keeping an HVAC at consistently hot or cold temperatures increase wear and tear?

I am interested in working with busy Private Investors that are interested in working with me on properties OUTSIDE of CA in more affordable B & C neighborhoods for safe consistent returns on their investment.
