@Sam Alpha  I think this thread is effectively over. 

Do you recommend using a general contractor, or would it be more cost-effective to handle it myself with subcontractors?

Hi Michael,Finding the right CPA is crucial for managing your investments effectively.

Tips or tricks that would help make transactions go smoother.

Be sure to work with an agent or broker who understands your local market, and consult with a professional who understands all applicable tenants-rights laws related to your transaction.

.• What strategies or platforms have you found most effective for connecting with them?

Very similar to direct mail but much more cost effective.

Think of it this way, for example...If your rent is $2000 but it is vacant for 2 months that means your effective growth income (EGI) for a year lease = $20,0000But if you lower it to $1900 & it sits vacant for only 1 month your EGI for a year lease = $20,900You can play with the rent numbers & how long you think it could remain vacant, but at the end of the day the most expensive route is vacancy.

Which is more cost effective/efficient.
