It's always a good idea to have a solid rental agreement and clear communication with your guests to ensure a smooth booking process.I hope this helps, and best of luck with your direct booking journey!

The tricky part is you really will never know if it'll be smooth sailing or an ongoing nightmare until you're actually in the middle and everything is going sideways.So, my advice is if you do not need partners, do it yourself.

I have seen several hard money lenders pretty much get pick pocketed by smooth talking wholesalers who were unloading lemons onto the next fish.

It confused the title companies and nowadays I want the title companies on my side so, that my deals are smooth and seemless...

Gotta get me one of those :)That house, while slightly larger then average, is pretty representative of the North East LA, and the appeal of such a property - clay shingle, smooth stucco, old hardwood, arched doorways and overall 1920's Spanish feel - when remodeled, is what's so appealing to retail buyers in the are so close to Hollywood etc..If the house was last bought in 1996 for $156K, and the current debt is in $730's, clearly the owner has taken equity out of it and walked.

We have the inspection next week, and if everything goes smooth with that I am going to set up a meeting with the current owner and tenants to go over everything. 

We used Patten Title and all went super smooth / easy

Go out and build just one single house for resale and then report back to us on where your values and your money should intersect.In your example, an average mechanic is alot more qualified to speak about how executives do things more than you think. after all, when their crap shows it doesnt work out in real life like it did on paper they are the ones fixing it. executives and management are all on their own planet. out of touch with reality. things would run more smoothly if the field monkey had some say in the upper end of things because they know from experience, not from sitting in a fancy office park reading market data.Just like the carpenters or any other building tradesman.
