Best of luck, and God speed!  

I feel like the market is over-saturated with mail, and it's time for investors to get up to speed with technology.

Thank you either way , God Speed to you . 

Wishing you the very best on your investment.God Speed Michael Short 

My short term goal is to work towards acquiring one additional property a year, but would love to speed that plan up within the first five years.

I know there has to be a way, I just have to be smart about it and analyze everything and anticipate different outcomes and speed bumps it may throw at me. 

I have one that when the tenant turns it on, it starts very slow and finally gets up to a decent speed but not as fast as the one that runs in the other non-Master bedroom.I'm looking to buy another one.

Any hard evidence that staging helps with sales price or speed of sale?

It'll take a few weeks/months to get up to speed, but there is no substitute for learning when it comes to this business if you plan to succeed in this business.
