My business partner runs numbers and writes offers.Though there are risks with a partnership, I'm an advocate for working with others to speed the acquisition of properties.

I would need to know more before automatically denying someone for credit score.I've rented to people with scores under 550 and they've been really good renters.

Anyhow, they withdrew and I got the property. owned it seven years now.

@Matthew Trotter maybe for the next one or two small ones till we have capital and sub outSmoother, knowing more contracting work to speed it up. lol.

We decided to start by putting in one of the "Chicago Controls" thermostats on the main unit. www.landlordthermostats.comI felt I would get complaints with the automatic setback type thermostat (automatically sets heat back to 68 every three hours) so we got the one that limits heat to 73 degrees and AC to 72 degrees.I plan to be open and honest with them and tell them about this so there are no surprises.

Speeds are pretty good, easy to use, and overall a good solution for locations that have cell service but don’t have wired internet options.

Rules I don’t always agree with, but at the end of the day it isn’t on me to interfere there (pretend to not be a buyer, not speak to seller, etc).I actually just looked through some documents yesterday and turns out the wholesalers title company/insurance was over THREE times what I normally pay (and almost seven times what I paid in my last market).

This is my first post, but I've been shot-gunning the podcasts on 1.5x speed.

I would automatically fix defects, such as dripping faucets or a feature that doesn't work. 

You need to build up a network of cash buyers, which should be almost automatic when you're there, but you really need to network a lot to learn about REI in general.
