I think you have to constantly put yourself out there and give everyone you meet your "elevator pitch".

@Brad Gibson I think one thing to keep in mind (and it sounds like you’re passing on this deal) is that “make-ready” costs are pretty constant.  

In BP Podcast 232, Nathan Brooks mentions that he does something similar and by constantly pounding how he wants his properties to look in his contractor's heads, the process becomes easier, quicker, and done better. 

I studied and built my property management platform over a period of 3 years, and was constantly finding new features. 

I know there are pros and cons to anywhere, but one constant gripe I hear is how much more the property taxes are up there.

After getting it we went down a rabbit hole of constant requests for more information (clarify this transaction, etc). 

The latter assumes a company never improves nor takes its customers feedback seriously, and I can assure everyone that, while Castle was flawed, it was always strove to constantly improve.In the spirit of constructive feedback, but more importantly investor learning and growth, I'd be happy to share my thoughts on real estate investment in Detroit with anyone that's interested.

We are constantly looking for the next deal and even though we are in saving mode and not ready to buy the next property we are already learning new ways to get there.

I realize if I'm not constantly deploying the capital, there's a chance I'll pay more in interest with the 30% even at a lower rate. 

I've been constantly in search of ways to make this happen.
