@Caleb Landry switching section 8 can be very cumbersome but it can also go smoothly.

That said, I will grant you that there are deals that are so smooth that perhaps the agent does not add value. 

I want to knock this out and get the property running smooth immediately.

It has the two-car garage John wants, and the spa bathroom Mary has been looking for.")I think with people who are (or look) very young, you just have to get over the initial hump, prove a potential client's misgivings wrong about you, and then it'll be smooth sailing.

If the first year had gone totally smoothly, I would have purchased 2 more from the same provider this year, then pursued a second market and provider for the next 4.Since the first year has been a bit choppy, I am banking cash and looking for either 2 more SFRs in a different market or a local multi-family property (much higher price points and very low cap rates, but great long-term appreciation).Based on my early experience, I'm again taking my time doing a ton of diligence on markets, turnkey providers (including my current provider), neighborhoods, and properties.

Was our first 1031 and went smooth.

Just remember when your properties are running smooth, no one needs a property manager.

Our companies are running smoothly and on track with our goals.

My application process went smooth and yes we paid the sign up fee for the 100% financing, Yes we have an adviser, Yes we have a project manager.Yes we have access to 3 deals at a time, Yes the 1st evaluation is free and we have to pay for the others, I made sure to ask every question there is.

Do not smooth over the numbers to make it look good (That is what Sellers do!).
