Maria D.They give me access to build out and REIS They also give me a person app that I can share with clientsIf you are not going to be an active broker, you dont need any of this

@Mark Ferguson  Nice years work... congrats.... put the jetsmarter app on your phone. you earned it. then drive the lambo up to the air-stairs those always make great photos of success  :)I think this will be my best year ever in Real Estate as for once all the cylinders were hitting and I only had one fouled plug.. a project on the Oregon coast were I lost 30k.. 

What about a cell tower?

All of my tenants are students so I use an app called 'Venmo'.

You can be an entrepreneur and use apps like Uber / Lyft and Favor (if it's in your area) to make money while you find something bigger and better.

, became an agent - a broker - an investor - an auctioneer and owner of a REIA and a real estate training operation in Baltimore.I don't regret all of that entertainment and some of the useless hours of frustration trying all the "way-out-there formulas", the turn downs - wasted money on envelopes, stamps - driving for dollars - walk and talk - open houses - sitting in rent court -etc.So now fast forward the clock to 48 years later  WOW - now at 74 years old, I am so glad I was able to make all the mistakes in real estate when I was younger - the school of the streets - trial and terror is where I really learned how to make money - negotiate - assign and contract engineering.Young - just getting started investors really have it made today - it is lots easier to acquire great information - Bigger Pocket - real estate chat rooms - the internet- mentoring -etcWhen I started there was no internet - cell phones - computers - I thought it was really something when I actually purchased a pager.Training and education is a great way to learn - even some of that useless stuff.Your best teacher is the School of the streets - trial and terror -Study and learn your market - understand values and creative financing - learn Control and Roll Formulas.It is interesting and profitable to realize that you don't have to buy real estate to make a profit - controlling properties is the highest leverage an investor can use, you want to be more market savvy than agents in your area.

Read books, go to networking events in your area/talk to those investors ask questions, figure out what kind of properties you want to flip and the neighborhoods you want to flip in, save those searches in Zillow's app and look at the results everyday (this will give you a good idea of what properties sell for in those areas).

Every applicant will likely be able to provide a positive character reference on their app, but its those "Discovered" references that would save you in this case: you discovered a negative reference to the character of your tenant by way of association with an extremely lacking-in-character past tenant.

Is there a way to route you to the BiggerPockets app, instead of the browser on the phone? 

So I'm wondering when I'm speaking with potential tenants, are there certain questions I should ask to get a feel for how they'd be as a tenant besides what the apps, credit and background checks will show?
