Georgia as you know is a great market for a variety of reasons.First you need to look at do you want to be an ACTIVE investor or a PASSIVE one??

They are ready to start calling on accounts when they don't even know how to read a rate card,,they want to go see people, you have to hold them back a little so they have the basics down,,they want to start selling.The sales reps in #1 have little chance for success,,they confuse activity with accomplishment.

They said she spoke to one of their contracted maintenance companies since it was the weekend and that they no longer plan on doing business with that company.

I'm in southeastern CT and am always glad to see other people from our little state here.CTREIA is a very active investors network w/monthly meetings and subgroups.

Generally banks do not participate in non-banking activities (like residential leasing)... but I am not a bank examiner.

Over the last few years, I have replaced that activity with raising money from private individuals, and investing THAT money in apartments.You just gotta figure out what the most efficient way is to get there, what suits your personality, and what is the most fun for you.

By being an active agent you do that - you start to know the agents, the lenders, other investors, home inspectors, appraisers etc.

I think our MLS rules are within 1 day Sold status has to be entered and for a new Listing must be activated within 2 or 3 days (don't recall exactly) of the contract date.

If you're wholesaling, you really don't RE, that is the beginner strategy with a very narrow scope of activities.

I have many tools I know I can use, whether passive or active advertising, but I am looking for maybe which specific is most effective and how to approach a seller after I have their attention.
