Larger facilities will support a staff and perhaps even an experienced management company, which would be very helpful if you lack the experience.

I've never pulled data from the county directly, I tried it once and they took a couple hours to get back to me then told me their IT staff could do it for $150.

By no means is this an official BP-staff endorsement.I’ve worked with many realtors in my time, and I can tell you that there are a wide variety of strategies that can be used.

If they do that I will have my maintenance staff take care off all their issues in a timely manner.

If your target market are students, this may be a good option.. but you do need to be affiliated with that college/university (student, staff, alum, faculty, etc) to post on those groups.  

I hired my staff from upwork, I do have to vet them and triple check their qualifications.

This allowed me to get some hands-on experience, build up my credibility (showed that I can find good deals) and my confidence which, in turn, benefitted me when it came to time to raise private money.I know fund all my deals using a mix of hard money, private money and/or seller financing (seller carryback or sub-2).By the way, prior to learning about REI, I was teaching science labs and working on my doctorate degree at UH (which I happily abandoned), so no REI experience at all. :)Good luck!

It could be for a number of varying reasons that don't have anything to do with you; they may not have anyone on staff to underwrite them, the asset may not meet with their strategic goals, or something else.
