I have no formal real estate training (up until licensure) other than renting out a condo to my brother and a room in my house to a buddy I worked with.

I spent WAY too much time reconciling what was delivered to the home vs. what was on my material list vs. what I had planned for in my SOW. 

@Tony Marcelle my partner and I have gone to the John Burley 3-day training in Arizona twice.

Depending on the brokerage there are monthly fees but there are also discount brokerages that charge minimal fees to keep your license active but don't usually offer very much training.

Oven went out, I bought a large counter-top while we waited for a new one to be delivered and installed. 

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

I would write in the offer that one unit be delivered vacant at the close of escrow. 

Do not pay for Real Estate Training from Guru's who sell programs and are not active Investors/Wholesalers.7.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

I coach about 4 students every month - it's one on one training so I don't take on too many clients at one time.Let me know if you need anything.
