April, A lot of these education programs/clubs are not necessarily "scams" per se, they're simply a smarter way for those people to do business and market to customers.

my brother/partner is a real estate broker in a small market where he can rarely find an open self-storage unit for customers that are moving to the area.Here are the numbers:Seller proposed sale price of $225,000.00 ...almost new building.20 - 10x20' units with average $75/mo.4 - 15x40' units at $250/mo.Gross Rental Income of $2,500/mo.....$30k/yearProperty taxes ~ $3,000/yearInsurance ~ $1500/year2% for maintenance?

I would look for real estate joint venture agreements online that meet with the kinds of basic terms you are looking for and then get a local lawyer to help you customize the document to your particular needs. 

Kind of like the lack of pressure to provide good customer service when your a government employee working at the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles).

I am actually in the process of transitioning from building custom homes and project managing remodels into home inspection myself.

At what point should an investor doing manual recordkeeping in Quickbooks switch to a more custom software?

Assess the area where you are selling and do finishes that would suit your target customer.4. this one is a bit controversial but if you are flipping don't spend money on unnecessary stuff that doesn't add value.

Let the customer know that if they book with you again as promised, you will then refund the 50% you collected minus your fees with a personal check at the end of their next stay.

.- Customer service is not as responsive and prompt as I’d like them to be.

For example, gyms are not able to be open (in many areas), yet still have to pay all of their expenses, and they have stopped all payments from customers as they are not able to provide them the contracted services.
