You are going to be spending money on marketing, traveling, clothes and potential leads/clients. 

They have an online application that you can customize and can do the screenings through their site.

But the things I don't know is how to be a good investor or how to generate leads or what contract to use or how this business even works...

Please PM if you are interested or have a lead for a good company/individual. 

@Scott ZajkowskiHello Scott,Rental and lead certification?

The problem is is I think you can go online and pay like $25 and "make" your dog a "service" dog, which is probably what she will do if/when you ask for documentation.  

Access - I have been advised that the staircase and railing leading to the attic will have to meet code and be sturdy enough to support the tenants4.

We set up a marketing campaign there and got a decent response with some good leads.

I just moved back to my hometown, Charlotte, NC, 2 months ago and I have virtually 0 Realtor relationships in the states where I am licensed.I am just wondering if any of you borrowers, brokers, lenders, or agents out there have any advice regarding things that I could do to start building trusting relationships with Realtors in order to get some leads in my pipeline.Honestly, thank you to those of you who took the time to read this, let alone respond :)PLP(peace, love & positivity)Sincerely,Dominic Balconi

I will ask around and share any leads if I get them.
