More than 50% of my leads go ignored because I just can't handle the stream of leads coming in.

@Justin FraserGreat job teamIng up .. btw I enjoy listening to matt’s YouTube videos and have watched them all

So within 7 months of deciding to get into real estate and watching ( current number of BP podcast at 201), and reading automatic millionaire, Richest man in Babylon and some Gary Keller books, and most of the rich dad poor dad series, and watching a ton of YouTube videos and taking experienced professionals out to eat and gain their insight and knowledge, I can say I reached my goal of purchasing 2 properties.

I know older bigger pockets videos pushed this but no...Like others have said, go to the meetups not to get to know people but for people to get to know you.

I want a resource I can give my company that will help them know exactly what they need to invest in residential/multi family real estate, but they aren’t studious enough to dig through these forums or pick information out of podcasts/YouTube videos.

We do say in our agreement that any damage one $1500 will be charged to their credit card.We find our guest prefer this rather than giving maybe  a $350 deposit to HOMEAWAY, TRIPADVISOR, FLIPKEY OR VRBO and then waiting a couple of weeks after their stay to see if they are going to get their deposit back.Damage Waiver Fee is a nice revenue stream for us.

And it'd be very annoying to a tenant to have a constant stream of lookie-loos going in and out of there home. 

@Tim Emery I saw a video that some investors did on the Pueblo/CO Springs/Denver markets and I'm not sure why they viewed the properties they did in Pueblo. 

When it's full and alarm sounds and you spend hundreds on getting it pumped out.This is something that occurs in close proximity to lakes, ponds and streams and it dictated by either the Board of Health or the town's conservation department - and it makes the property far more difficult to sell. 

It is possible to retrofit an apartment with a smart lock, video doorbell, smart thermostat, voice and app controlled lights, smart interconnected smoke alarms etc.,  How much rent premium will your tenants pay?
