I've been following some of the forums and it is so encouraging to see all you folks being so thoughtful and helpful.I can't think of another business where the your competition is your biggest ally.I Love It!

@J ScottOutside of Philly & Pgh are most of PA the transfer tax is 2% and is divided, by custom between the buyer and seller, with the notable exception of REOs, HUDs etc where the buyer pays the entire 2%.

I also encourage my tenants to contact me via email for service request.

Toward the end of your comments you said something that is really the biggest problem for investors out there, especially on boards like this - there is no uniform definition or business set-up for turnkey companies.For us, our entire business cycle is built on customer experience and relationship.

They essentially had to start over, if I remember correctly.In Ct, we rebuilt a small porch for a customer.

I think you have a large base of potential clients and customers, both on the buy and sell side.

The whole first year was spent waiting for "customers" to arrive...thankfully none ever did.

The problem with this is that months down the road, when I'm ready to move forward, I'll forget which colleague it was that offered XYZ service and have no way of finding them again without some work.If I could tag general members with custom tags (ex: "wholesaler", "turnkey, illinois", "property manager, chicago") - that'd help me in the future keep members I'm interested in organized and accessible for future reference.

I used to work for AT&T and I spoke with a few customers who had leased their land for AT&T towers.

If you're interested in letting someone else do the recordkeeping for you, analyze their technology and customer service.
