The term "power team" is just a guru phrase to put a fancy name to a simple thing, although not always simple or easy to do.I am with Jason and James on this one.

, but sometimes its overly awkward and can cause the Seller to feel defensive.

James, you said it made sense for you to sub out work, what were the main reasons for that?

I also have access to a $10,000 line of credit from the bank that I keep as a last line of defense, so this is why I only raise the minimum level a little and not double it.Example: I start with 1 property and I want to have $3000 minimum in reserves.

My sister had a heck of a time with false alarms.Keep in mind that many police stations/LEOs won't respond to an automated call, they want a human to call it in.The first defense is simply a deterant, actually the signs will keep amatures away, kids looking for a few bucks or something to hock.If you are in a neighborhood I suggest meeting the neighbors and everyone keeps an eye out for each other.
