@Kermaury Musgrove  I started investing back in 2010, but it was after I had worked with 50-60 investors and I had seen them successfully buy, rehab, and rent properties before I build up the confidence to try it out for myself.

FYI, we don't feel like our agent is really investor-friendly. 

Hi everyone,So here is the deal.Started a PM company 10+ years ago as a subsidiary of our turnkey company (IMO it's a tough gig selling turnkey if you don't also manage in-house)Hated the PM business for a good 5 years or so.Then one day I woke up and smelt the roses and realized that PM is not so bad after all.That of-course came at a time when things actually started to work and we actually started to "work" the systems just as they should be worked lolWe have reached a point now where it's a pretty well oiled machine other than the minor $#@% that we fix on a daily basis.The business motto is systemize, optimize and monetize which is a work in progress but chugging along.I'm confident that with the operation as it is today we are at a point where we can start to significantly scale.Organic leads are flowing in nicely and we grow at between 10-15 units per month or so.My questions are:1) How do we potentially find other "mom and pop" shops what want out of the business and we purchase to take over?

A whole lot of wisdom there, I really appreciate the insight Bruce and to your point, this home certainly gave me a different feeling than others I’ve put offers on with much more of a investment prop mindset.

Hi, I am from Georgia, with everything goes up here, feel like Alabama could offer a better or cheaper place to invest, so I am thinking about investing in Alabama, not inside of Birmingham, but between Atlanta and Birmingham or between Birmingham and Huntsville.  

I have started screening after the realtor screens them and tell the rules, setting expectations upfront.It is a shame that you feel this way and it's an even bigger shame if the PM/realtor really didn't care.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like more info!

It feels like kitchen cabinets have increased insanely.

This gives you the sole right to buy their house.The assignment agreement (between the back-end buyer and you)  says that you are passing along YOUR sole right to buy that house over to the back-end buyer, as the cash buyer then steps into the contract and you (kinda) step out of it.You know when your bigbutt friend sits in a chair for 3 hours, he gets up and you sit in his charge and you feel all that buttheat terminating from that chair?
