Unlike leads you can order online from a generic website, I can guarantee that the leads I pull are fresh (60 days or less), off market, and I use a ranking system to determine which sellers are most motivated based off of factors such as the executor of the property living in a different state and the amount of siblings the house has been inherited by.

While it is important, I rank it as far less critical than providing amazing value to boost income.  .Income is going to be the greatest driving factor. 

So we fired up the computer and ranked all cities in Massachusetts on average rental revenue as compared to average property costs, and prioritized them based on distance to our home in Waltham.

For me, it also depends on exposure - I would be unlikely to paint brick that has heavy exposure to the elements, i.e. is not under a deep covered overhang or was a two-story design.

For those who like rankings & numbers, a new ranking on Best Places to Live by U.S.

CA is ranked +- 36th out of all states for the lowest prop taxes. 

Scandinavia and even modern China are great examples of countries which have elements of socialism but incorporate varying degrees of competition and capitalism - in fact one could argue modern China is more capitalistic than modern America is (at the very least in a dystopian sense).Then we must ask, does pure capitalism work?

Is there a missing 3rd element or income source that I’m not considering to help offset and bring someone to 0 on tax day?

Most important element is liability insurance............if you have 2 mil in net assets get 2 mil.
