For the majority of people (who will die without any meaningful net worth), you could probably do their estate planning for around $1,000 and cover virtually all concerns.

I definitely can't afford an American answering service/ call center yetI have a couple numbers set up-- 1 for property management, tenant calls, potential tenants and another for lead generation, buying commercial properties, contractors, vendors etcOne thing that's driving me nuts and confusing me is I have both numbers routing to my iPhone and GV doesn't tell me which number it's calling from to take, nor if it's a non- RE call directly to my iPhone.Anyways I'm thinking of the following VoIPs which can also integrate into direct marketing, Virtual Assistants (VAs- for this I've been searching Upwork and see rates at $6-7 for english speakers), and in the future implement a CRM (I currently use Buildium for tenants and Excel/ PropertyRadar for acquisitions and leads).What are the best VoIP/ GV alternatives?

Tons of diversity in the market, multiple theme parks, zoos, water activities, golf, and casinos + 320 days of sunshine on average makes for the kind of market that we like.We don't presently manage hotels (have in the past), but we reopened our property management division this year - we sold it in 2015 and went to California, but came back to Spain in 2016 and found that the buyer had gone under 6 months later- and now manage a collection of vacation rental properties in Andalucia.

In General though so you don't think I am not a giving person.. this model plays out in virtually every major metro in the country... so go find the one you like figure it out and execute.. with the lower end rental markets.. well that's a no brianer NO one can buy all of those homes.. not even BLackstone ... but those deals are drying up as well as we know.. but there are still many markets you can buy cheapie homes.. just have to read on BP for  few hours of those that buy sub 30k homes in the rust belt and other areas.. no major secret here.But you probably missed the Duplex I GAVE away a few Christmas's ago to a BP member for a learning experience for the group here.. so I give in my own way.  

There is nothing in this deal to make it an attractive proposition until you have Buyer ready to pay you MONEY for the assignment of contract or a tenant buyer with good credentials.You pays your money and takes your chances - especially at Donald Trump's Casinos!

Last time I posted here to vent and get some virtual hugs, she googled me, found my posts here, the particular post where I complained about her and created a real sh** show for a couple of days.Hang in there...  

Of institutions in Cuyahoga county, Credit First National Association has $0 in real estate loans, The Pioneer Savings Bank has virtually $0.

Before I had discovered REI, I had gone into major debt, and virtually ruined my credit score and chances of me getting a Mortgage.

I think this should generate enough revenue for me to live virtually cost-free in my house while I save more money up for more properties. 

As an out of state investor, it's hard to know the markets you invest in even if you do visit, so I recommend taking a virtual stroll around the neighborhood as a quick and easy way to weed out the time wasters.
