Anyone who’s performed these tasks knows each one takes about 5 minutes.

But you can't assume that people who do those tasks required in living are marketable skills.There are better ways to assess ones integrity than their receiving some benefit.

Other students that have scaled their portfolios quite a bit have learned to let their team handle the day to day hurdles of portfolio management (you still need to keep them accountable of course), so they can focus on some of the more growth focused tasks.

@Tori Roy, I can’t point you to the court records, but I remember learning that anti-trust laws prevent NAR from limiting MLS access to Realtors.I think the solution for you is a no-frills, no-desk-fee broker plus signing up for your local MLS without joining the Realtor board attached to it.I’d suggest doing a little googling, then calling your local Realtor board and inquiring (dare I say “badgering”) them about buying MLS access without joining.Good luck!

So, right back at you:  "RUBBISH"Regulation is absolutely anti-American. 

Once the contact is generated, I make a brief note stating what the seller said in the voicemail, mark the lead status as "Make first Contact", assign the lead to myself inside the CRM (just in case you work with others), and ALWAYS create a task!

Obtaining a refi / cash out for a foreign national is a herculean task.

My view is at the state level there is some anti STR sentiment.  

Co-ops are setup to be anti-landlord and they want whoever is buying a unit to want to live in the unit as a primary residence. 

Not a simple task as HDC suggests.
