By September I will have strong rents and most of the shortcut fixes made by the prior property management company will be addressed.

I had the exact same thing happen to my Google Voice number that I use for work and was wondering what in the world happened...

Most need 10-15K of work and that is keeping most repairs in house.

Suddenly it becomes your problem when the tv doesn't work, and the tenants will assume the problem is "your" tv even when it's their DVR, etc.

I've already found it incredibly resourceful so first off thank you to everyone that puts in their hard work and effort into sharing their knowledge and being helpful. 

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do.”

My hard work and ideas paid off!

The 2 main reasons people don't like to deal with buyers is that buyers are more work and, more importantly (for me) you can't leverage your time as well.You can't deal with 50 buyers at the same time, yet many agents have 50 listings at the same time.With that said, everyone has something they like more than others.

Question for the people who focus on short sales, what's a better business model selling short sale leads, with all the paperwork completed to a realtor, or doing all the work and teaming up with a realtor to spilt the commission they make.I guess my question is where is the money at when doing the short sale.
