I'm very much in the early stages but plan on continuing to read as much materials as I can, and of course have already begun listening to the BP podcasts.Going to keep an eye out for local get-togethers as well because I hear the community here at BP is one of the finer ones you will find anywhere.If anyone from Chicago, whether it be downtown or the suburbs is ever interested in exchanging information or needs assistance (I have devoting a substantial amount of my time in this field now), please do not hesitate to contact me.

I think the 'pickers' would have a field day salvaging some of the knick knacks from this place.Best of luck to you!

You must show that you have an even playing field for all applicants, which requires landlords to have specific guidelines, i.e., number of occupants per bedroom, minimum income requirements, minimum credit scores, etc.

Determine what information you want, which data fields will need to be created and populated later for your mailings.Here's my challenge for you: will you do this until you get a deal flow or will probate be another shiny object opportunity that is replaced by the next distraction?

I'll try VM options later to test whether there is really a difference, but I'm determined to go with a service at first (IOW, please don't tell me to use GV and send everything to VM ;)I''ve researched a bunch of different services, but actual recommendations from real customers in our business are hard to come by.So, if you've used an answering service to field calls for your business would care to share your experience (good or bad), I'd love to hear it.My plan is to have the AS collect very basic info at first, basically asking for name, contact info and the address of the property so that I can do some research and call them back ASAP.So what's the skinny on answering services?

I want to make a career out of realestate investing.

I have a good career that I am happy with so I can patiently build monthly cash flow, or deal with less lucrative flips while I learn the business.

I am looking forward to grow and am thoroughly excited on this new Career Path that I am taking.Below is a link to my LinkedIn Profile..

good real estate brokers to work for and advice on mistakes not to make as a new person in the field.

Motivation and self-starting are extremely important in my current career, as I would imagine they are in real estate.
