With the younger crowd, such as this couple the credit history plays a bigger role to me simply because I have nothing else to go on.

So what was you're role.

That could play a big role in reducing/eliminating estate taxes. 

You're in a hot market so don't rely on cheap lists that are oversaturated3) Do direct mail or door-knocking after role-playing the scripts on how to talk to sellers.There are deals to be had in any market, just gotta work a bit harder and look a little further out from really hot markets. 

When I work with real estate investors I counsel them on: the roles each person will play, the obligations to each other, how the banking and finances will work, the taxes, the obligations to buy out each other and the spouses of each member when something goes wrong like death or divorce, the roles of investors, partners, employees and managers, setting up DBAs, leases and other contracts, and dozens of other aspects of running their business.

And there are other factors to think about, such as resale, pivoting to LTR or MTR if you have to, getting help at the property (likely easier in Charlotte), accessibility by flight, etc.

We are still raising rents to catch up to the large market increases from 2020-2022.From an inflation standpoint, the information above is a good thing as market rents and owners' equivalent rent are a huge part of the inflation calculation (and also one of the reasons the fed has pivoted positions as they understand the lag impact of stabilizing/declining rents in the calculation).

We ended up building something in house in excel with Pivot tables and combined that with Podio for project management.

I definitely believe the way I filtered my list, or lack of enough filtering, played a role in who was contacting me and how often.
