Would like to purchase additional investment properties, a home we could use occasionally on the water or near.

Plan to sell my primary residence that I've occasionally house hacked and purchase a small multi-family to keep growing.

We want to refinish our basement and I thought about renting in out occasionally to offset the cost.

The difference is that except one of my tenants occasionally moving out to buy their own place, it runs on autopilot.  

If you are growing modestly, you will still uncover the occasional value-add property. 

Crescent/Marcus Lakes can occasionally have some flip potential, but I'm bearish on Crescent since the recent nationally reported/freak/Moses flood we had.  

After several meetings, your list will start to grow quickly.If you get the occasional entry through your website, do what you're doing. 

I noticed that I would mail a zip for the first time & would occasionally get msgs "stop sending me your fing postcard!!!!"

I occasionally do contemporaneous settlement but that is only with large packets where I would struggle to fund the closing.In my market of Memphis homes sell for wildly varying amounts due to the circumstances surrounding the sale.

I still get the occasional call from a letter I sent out years ago.
