With shower curtains, it's much easier to throw out the old curtain and put up a new one (that is if you're providing the curtain).

That was a in interesting data point you provided. 

I also have the tenant fill out my own application to get additional information that is not provided in the zillow profile / report.

I will double check with my contact there, but the response that you guys have provided put me at ease.

@Derek Morrison,To buy a property in a 401k you need a non-recourse loan since as a "disqualified person" you are not allowed to provide a personal guarantee for the loan.

My opinion is to not engage a GC, but rather work directly with any service providers that are needed for certain tasks.

I'll provide contact information upon request. 

Over time, you could leverage this equity to invest in additional properties that provide better cash flow.Diversify Investments: You're already invested in stocks and real estate, which is great for diversification.

That is who I use and they lost that policy provider and that is happening nationwide.

As agents, we need to add real value and this is not the way to do business.My tip for agents looking for deals for investors is to be more worried about your client than your commission and more focused on providing value than making everyone else do your job.
