I helped him to prepare for multiple specific phone calls before they were made, anticipating the situation.I cheered him on when any small thing was done right.I showed him how devastating lack of skills and preparation were to both of us.I gave him a lot of training material.I made custom material and videos for his situations that he was facing.We brainstormed other ways he could improve and have fun at it (watching American movies for 'lingo')'Now, he's motivated every day.

We eventually plan to move the properties into an LLC (or multiple LLC's), but in the meantime, are looking for a way to anonymize our interactions with tenants.Our short term concern is that tenants know our full names, phone numbers, addresses, etc.

I look at all those I interact with in this business and their is one theme .. most if not all are charismatic , pretty good sales men and women and or pretty educated and smart..  

You get even more anonymity by advertising through a property management company where renters dont interact with the owner at all.

I just replaced my clay lateral because it had an offset/rootball and you can come back with some pretty high quotes to counter your offer with depending on the video inspection. 

However, we've really enjoyed the interaction. 

All of these additions planned to be ready by the Super Bowl here in 2019.Oh and if you need “eyes on the ground” or pictures/videos of your property or areas shoot me a message.

I have been guilty of staying cheap in areas that were cheap...never buy properties in bad area is the best lesson...I had  camera installed and saw thief cut the main power line and steal the cameras in Joliet and police reports and police is waste of time and insurance can be expensive...I have had simplisafe wireless alarm system that is great for identifying who comes in and leaves..because you can assign codes to each worker.if you could have a combo system of simplisafe  or another wireless system with a camera system combo that captures who is going in and out might be your best option...you need alarm system with video capture because we still have people leaving garbage in parking lot that alarms can't prevent...I have not come across anything better that has active alarm system with videos.

I would suggest listing to podcasts, videos, and guides in the "Education" section of BP.There are also a lot of youtube videos that have great real estate lingo explanations.Hope I helped out!

Just from an interaction and fee standpoint as a customer.
