Anyway I digress.I picked a random skip trace service and ran all of my 6000 leads through them to obtain landline and mobile numbers.

As @Rick Mapes mentioned, was it difficult to get that information and what information did they request you submit to obtain the data?

Let's take your example with a little embellishment; For your $285,000 duplex, you put $20k down and obtain a hard money loan of $300k ($20,000 down + $265,000 loan + $15k in rehabs).

Hey everyone, would love to get some feedback/perspective. I’m curious, for those of you who invest in real estate and have your real estate license, do you have a realtor represent you when buying properties or do yo...

Yes, the could change the regulations to make the permit difficult or impossible to obtain.

If you get this listing rolling and obtain superhost status within the first few months, and you keep it there... you'll be able to charge whatever you want per-night after a year of boosting SEO. 

What criteria did you focus on them obtaining......like employment growth, pop growth...etc.

My offers simply state I have the right to obtain representation if my offer is countered. 

Maybe obtaining a REA license?
