That being the case, I'm ready to hit the ground running when I finally get boots on the ground in Pittsburgh. 

I am an active flipper/landlord in Houston, TX and also run a software company.

HRLA is an all volunteer run landlord club dedicated to buy and hold education and best practice sharing.

In your experience, has running adds helped solely in boosting likes/followers or do you find legit buyers/investors coming to you from the content you put out?

You are saying that $200 net of operating and morgage costs is what you run into a lot?

you can ping me off line.. its a sophisticated note product that is not talked about on these forums.. 

If your whole sale runs you a extra 10K are you financially OK with that?

Those 'rules' are good for express analysis but you should be talking to your property management company to see how they think they can run that specific property.

When I click on "obtain contact info" it links to a site asking if I wanna run a background check.

However, with a more sophisticated seller, you're more likely to see these kinds of deals succeed.So, I guess that obstacles count as a con - it may be better to avoid all the hassle by just using regular channels.A pro I can think of is being able to negotiate your own terms.
