Doing it yourself properly is a huge hassle and you could easily miss something.I've learned to use professionals and spend my time finding buyers/sellers/investors/properties.

Keep in mind that if they were organized, professional, and timely they probably wouldn't be cheap.

That doesn't mean it's a walk in the park.So I'd say it's a different happy than an afternoon at the beach, but as a professional and growth activity, that it makes me happy.

Online the prices range to over $1000 but I've heard there are cheaper options, and also that a certification for Argus is not even necessary.Any professional advice or leads for me to pursue?

Again eager to network with professionals in the area...

I'm looking to build new connections and forge new professional relationships.

The property will be professionally managed.

They also are probably using professional management, which reduces your on labor but increases your costs.

The rep I worked with was very competent and professional and really knew his stuff, especially with regard to how to build and maintain a strong personal credit score.?
