I'm a new investor and there are MANY that will value and are actually seeking investors who offer my reliability, dependability, integrity, credibility and a stellar work ethic which are consistent.

I plan on targeting some different demographics and adding more marketing channels for the upcoming year, and I expect that to increase my deal flow, and help me to also reach my goal of doing deals more consistently rather than deals here and there.

I see this as direct benefit of creating something for folks to make a living and feed their family.Teaching real estate techniques to me is something different but at the end of the day if you have one of your students excel and move foreword then they themselves are hiring GC's working on financing buying products etc etc.. so your contributing your just charging a few bucks to get them moving. were as I am doing it myself.we get to the same place, at the end of the day we are  making Chinese manufactor's rich.. that's the bottom line.

Direct mail is not cheap so I'd suggest saving your money until you can consistently mail 6 months of letters.  

Good value is always attractive as long as there is a consistent need for housing.C)  PETS ruin mobile homes; charge a steep premium for pets.  

I subscribe to redfin feeds, which at least in Chicago will email me new listings within about 15 minutes of them hitting the MLS.  

It is more difficult to make money when you are just providing solar into the rental, and the tenant therefore has subsidized utilities.Here in Ontario, the provincial government implemented Feed in Tariff (FIT) and MicroFit sytems.

I also like the speciality paint store (where I go Ben Moore, for example) just for  consistent service and expertise (hit or miss at the big box there).Then hard to beat the old school prep with tsp and  a good sponge mop (just damp) and rinse with clean water (damps sponge mop)...and primer for major color changes or spots  and stains..The good paint in luster you can clean also makes turnarounds easy...clean the walls (as mentioned) and you may only have to touch up..Finally, if you can go with one color/brand for the interiors of your rentals you will save time trying to match color or organize endless paints in your garage...best of luck

Why don't you just paint / stain them a new, consistent color?

Being new to BP,..I thought I'd be consistent here as in all parts of my life and serve the members here first.
