My collegues here think "it's a scam" "it'll never replace REITs"  First it's not a scam I tell them, and REITs were designed as tax shelters not investments.  

I'd like to invest in an out-of-state property (since the ROI is attractive) but since I'm working in my full time job I don't have time (=rat race) to go down to see the property, so I had a creative idea to hire wegolook.com to complete a property report with photos and then to double check on him I would hire a local licensed property inspector to go look at the property and then compare them to see if the information match.

If you guys paid cash for the property & want to avoid borrowing funds, but need money to pay the contractor & start producing income, then you could possibly do a lease option (aka rent to own) allowing the tenant/ buyer to choose design elements or have input on the design (so that they feel they're getting some kind of customization & added value), this would be of course AFTER collecting an NROC fee, (Non-Refundable Option Consideration - not a down payment but gives them the right to purchase at a future date - usually 3-5 yrs) typically anywhere between 5%- 10% of the market value of the property.

Over the past two years I have had two different groups of tenants not renew their leases because of him.The duplex is in a good area and attracts B-B+ tenants. 

So I've been studying the state of the art, best tools & practices in Property Management, especially curious about Work Network development and proactive, preventive maintenance.What I've been surprised to discover is that the best PM platforms are full-blown accounting systems, designed to replace the likes of QuickBooks which has been so popular for so long.The thing I'm wondering is, if real estate investors are well diversified, they're probably doing a lot more than just investing in real estate.

And, since you're marketing to probates, you can design a specific home seller's guide for probates.This will get prospects to respond to you and request their guide. 

A lot of sellers will say that, but when you hit them with a competitive financed offer (shortened loan/appraisal contingency, high EMD, short due diligence, etc) and pre-approval, they almost always reconsider.Really, the only reason cash offers are more attractive than financed offers is because of the uncertainty pertaining to the borrower as well as the property qualifying and appraising.

Hi Elizabeth,Given the current rental demand in the Denver Metro Area we no longer allow pets and have had no problem attracting quality, pet free, tenants.

I reside in Largo; but an area that has growth potential (opinion) is Seminole for multifamily and the main attraction are the beaches on Gulf Blvd.
