I had one client purchase a property for $2 million foreclosed and took a hard money loan to close in 2 weeks.

One of my clients purchased a nice condo that was newly furnished - and I asked for the furniture to be included in the sale.

Not just getting the job but actually listening to the client and understanding their needs.

@Brent Watanabe in my opinion, the property manager is the key ingredient in a successful out of state investment recipe--they already have a network of contractors, handyman, know how to vet them and negotiate pricing and plus they have access to deals--many times clients are selling or changing up their portfolios, and you have to be a broker to be a PM. 

A client of ours in the past told us that he was sued by a tenant for having that tenant pay for his share of the roof and the tenant ended up winning.

Hi BP,I am a wholesaler looking to network with builders in the Chicagoland area where part of their business model/plan is acquiring new project sites to do tear downs and new builds for their prospective clients.

I have great relationships with him, referring other clients, and he always shows me how to do it right way, and I already did multiple things by myself - making window screens, painting of 8 interior doors in 2 days, hardware for kitchen cabinets, replacing bathroom faucets etc.

As I tell my clients, fall in love with the numbers not the property.You can do this.

Mail can pile up at your office that you rarely go to but email is your lifeline with your clients, contractors, and affiliates.  

But of course, you limit the pool of potential clients.
