Just remember: most negative reviews are written by problematic tenants.

Remember, they can always refer themselves😊Now, make it a goal to call at least 5-10 of these people EVERY day and ask a MAX OF THREE off the list below of who they know that:Just inherited a homeHad a loved one pass awayIs behind on their mortgage or tax paymentsHas a relative that can’t take care of their house anymoreHas a house they’re having trouble sellingIs facing bankruptcyKnows a probate attorneyKnows a bankruptcy attorneyetcWhy only three off the list per contact?

A contractors time is money .Now remember this , there is no investor discount , the contractor will charge you the same as anyone else .

Gotta remember that one. 

I remember periods of time driving the city this year and seemed like every few houses, someone had foundation work being done.Make sure you have a good gutter system to divert water from the property skirting and proper drainage, no pooling around the house, etc. 

Always remember that water is the enemy of a house....

Remember, you didn't LOSE that money...it's just equity in the property.  

While groups like Blackstone are the 700 lb gorillas (even iBuyers to the average SF investor) it's important to remember these groups are ultimately subject to the will of their investors.Institutional buyers traditionally 'overpay' for properties because they don't buy properties one-off.
