We launched some paid advertising, however the results were bad.About 6 weeks ago I started doing deeper research on his particular business model and I began putting the pieces together to help generate some leads and get him and my sister back to making money again.Fast forward to just over a week ago since I completed his setup, and so far he’s had 5 appointments to view job sites so he may submit bids, and he’s locked up 2 contracts worth $15,500 and $31,500 totaling $46,000 in new business.This case study serves to support any REI professionals seeking inbound leads including…

Matthew,Based on recent investor track records I would say choose Ohio over NY or NJ for a 2-4 unit. 

Agree my net worth has gone up 3x in the last 5 years.

BTW a "good title search" is worth the paper it is printed on (or perhaps the cost of the search as max liability) without a title policy.The basic sentiment of this thread is for the rest of us who aren't sitting on $5mm cash and can't afford to or don't wish to self-insure.

Hi FriendsIs it still worth buying str investment properties in San Antonio and/or other San Antonio suburban cities? 

Put out signs and lockboxes for realtors.Cold call for a realtor or investor.Create a handyman or property preservation business.Become a notary, so you can close real estate transactions.Go to work for a courthouse data service, so you're looking at and recording the posted data for them.Work for an apartment complex leasing apartments or doing maintenance.Work for a property manager doing make ready.Do anything and everything in construction.Become a home inspector willing to work weekends.Work as a sales rep or helper for a builder.Probably all these positions could use someone that wants to work nights and weekends.   

Both worth over $1MillionWe've always been insured for $1M in liability.Our broker presented an option for insurance for one property that would be $500K.Do you think we'd be at risk with this level of coverage?

It's a double wide manufactured home, 3/2, on land near the lake, 1 acre, worth about $110K to $125K.

It only matters in my mind as to ROI of partnering with the GC, scope differences are significant, therefore experience value of a GC may matter.3- Is/will the 3plex be held in an LLC, and is that where the JV agreement will be recorded, separate from the construction contracts?
