I've been messing around with the filters since my post and have whittled it down to 1,500 owner occupants that own their SFR free-and-clear.To answer your question - I will initially be wholesaling deals while I build up my cash reserves for flipping.

And while that is true, there are many times that I am able to filter out all the extemperaneous noise and get down to the neccessary facts to make the best decision possible.Therefore, my opinion is that as an investor, I should be getting Market Rent for my rental, no matter if the tenant has been there a month or ten years.

Write down the action steps you should (probably) take to get from here to there.Now, for the 50% of the 5% that have gone this far, there's one more filtering aspect coming up which will cut off another 50%.You actually have to DO stuff. 

Right now, I am physically going to properties every 60 days to replace furnace filters.

Don't you want a chance to go check the filter on your $5k heating/cooling system? 

What I've learned new HVAC systems dont need this service contract I try to have my handyman inspect Properties quarterly and filter Inspection is on checklist.If you're having issues, try to find out how old your system is, I recommend once it reaches 15-20 years consider replacing.

Some have done more inspections than others, however, how can you filter out the best from the rest?

It has never failed me yet but one must a bit careful with this stuff as it is pure lye (won't hurt pipes but it does smoke when boiling water is poured over it so don't breath the stuff in).Gail

One person recently responded after getting that automated email to state they are no longer interested because "it appears you can get evicted for breathing too hard".

We have lost our ability to filter what is important and what isn't."
