If you plan to use MLS as a way to find deals, you've got to be on top of it constantly because deals go so fast, and the prices tend to drive up significantly.

If you are ever looking to by properties in the Spokane area my partner and I constantly get off market deals (SFR's, Multi-Family, Small Apartments). 

The city is 60% renters thats due to jobs constantly moving. 

With one info source you can save time instead of going to 5 sites or constantly asking an agent.

We are constantly looking for new splittable properties in the Grass Valley/Nevada City area (4-16 homes per property), or properties that have already been sub-divided.

I look at them as my partners and I have ways to incentive them whether it's helping my property manager expand their portfolio with landlord referrals(I also wholesale property with property management in place), this also keeps my contractors and handyman busy, title company is constantly closing, lender is constantly closing on purchases or refinances and insurer is constantly insuring new properties.  

I decided to register to be a part of the website due to the constant results in my research that came from BiggerPockets.I'm excited to be here, excited to learn and excited to meet so many people that have the same goals and interests as myself. 

Calling my phone constantly, not compromising in a deal, not following up on something they agreed and signed for...I could tell you a million crazy stories, but every now and then I will have an easy, quick deal and make $5000, so it evens out.

However, my rental is under an HOA so I constantly have in the back of my mind that they might regulate vacation rentals.

I get, that it is a good deal for the seller, a constant check etc.
