(Which you can get referrals for through REIA, or if you want to self-manage, landlord contacts you can bounce ideas off of.)When you come across a property on the MLS that you like, perhaps speak with an agent about seeing it.

20 units is small and not as scalable.Is this 20 unit surrounding by other buildings on the street or is this all self enclosed??

My buyer, a rehabber/builder and landlord in the area was already at the property before 8 am this morning with the county inspector, doing a walk through to assess a rebuild versus demo (he's going to demo it).

Hi Dylan,Typically the tax assessment is available online.

I always sold the meat, not the sizzle, and when I went into insurance they taught the phycology of selling, over coming objections and how to lead others to a desired conclusion.....so they say anyway.

Partnering with your buddy on a few deals would be the best way to learn the business while you self educate on the side.

I have gone to each property and reviewed the PL statement for the properties and reviewed all of the tax information with the assesses office.

It also can mean the start or continuation of self-employment.

I suggest making an objective market analysis, including visiting competing homes, before deciding...

Kurt,I had recently tried a few CRM's (Zoho, RealtyJuggler, etc.) and have found that a self-installed SugarCRM seems to be a good (Free) start.
