Save the marketing cost and time and step up on a deal The reason people do paid marketing, is to scale and have some sense of control on how many leads you get.If 100 dollars gets you 10 leads, the idea here is that 1000 dollars gets you 100 leads.See, most people do not understand efficiency.If you have a team and you are paying a team and your team can handle an X number of leads a month, you better feed them X numbers of leads, otherwise you are not running your business on full capacity and efficiency and you are leaving money on the table.So you DO want to have some sort of control when it comes to running your business.Now you can either hire or fire based on the amount of leads you have (not very optimal in my humble opinion), OR you can  hire the necessary people that would help run your business smoothly and then do the controllable, scalable lead gen platforms to match the lead flow to your man power. 

That's how I normally run my projects, and they always run smooth unless we run into a permit issue.

That is, in this case, you should start at the end (the bank) and work your way backwards (on how to structure the deal with the seller).Might not be much help, but the advice is to talk to the banks before anyone else so you can pave the way to a smooth refi.

There are going to be times when the client is unsure of the process and if you can just keep reminding them of what they are hoping to accomplish and how the mortgage will help them accomplish it, it will go much more smoothly.

We are closing in Feb (by signing I literally meant signing the contract), but inspection is all set with no surprises, everything is rolling smoothly, they just needed a little more time to have carpets installed in their new place.

Let’s hope you are just nervous and it all pans out smoothly.

They are usually good with working with all parties for a smooth transaction. 

I'm not a big client, but he fits me in when I need the work done.As a small-scale landlord, I don't have full-time staff, but count on these people to keep 20 units running smoothly, and consider $50 reasonable to help keep me on their list of customers to prioritize.  

As much as I would have liked this process to be smooth and easy, we learn a lot from the bumps and bruises we get along the way. 

Hopefully the transition into the property will go smoothly.
