Would love to connect and get on the horn regarding the processes you've set up and compare our experiences (particularly the utilization of a VA to increase productivity as this would definitely be a value-add for me!) 

This particular building was business as usual.

Do you invest in a particular area in Lubbock?

@Mike NeubauerI live in southern Mesa and am planning to get into Real Estate soon and would be willing to do any grunt work that you would be willing to outsource.I'm pretty young (16) but I already have a little real estate experience including analyzing properties and working a couple contracting jobs (that are allowing me to be on track for listening to every BP podcast before the end of the year) I would particularly love helping to find deals but I would be willing to do pretty much any work in order to get some hands-on knowledge.

This particular property is intended for the couple to live in it probably on a permanent basis. 

Just make sure you understand the ins and outs of the offer/contract, and, in particular, the short sale language.

Particularly sellers who are in some kind of financial distress or are otherwise motivated to sell (probate, foreclosure, job loss, divorce, etc). 

Also, your "rules of engagement" for your hired help should be clear with them, and that is that they are there to address a particular issue and nothing else, without your prior approval. 

It doesn’t appear he’s particularly slick.

Good afternoon, BP.I'm currently doing research on how to screen applicants, particularly those who are self-employed.
