Like Michael I have used FB ads for business other than real estate and found it to be very powerful tool.  

It will likely cost you more and you have less control, but often times, a good GC can get you materials and supplies (with their markups) for same price or less than you can because of their purchasing power.

That's the way to build powerful relationships.Like you, I am living in Los Angeles, but I focus on investing out of state for the 3x cash flow and reasonable cost of real estate.

I checked power history afterwards out of personal curiosity, and while it was higher, it wasn't so much that I would have been able to call it out for sure and there were no huge spikes.

Both books were very informative and contained many excellent techniques and instructions.

Each state or commonwealth has it's own laws concerning intestate distribution of real estate.Further, there are different levels of power for the person(s) who wish to transfer real estate or encumber with a voluntary lien like a trust or mortgage that is insured by a title company. 

While a real estate model is only as good as the assumptions behind it, with practice they can become hugely powerful and an additional tool to add to your arsenal.

This also illustrates the power of leverage for real estate.

If your looking for MFUs, ask for some MFU comps and see what you receive - - you'll know immediately if this agent qualifies :grin:Knowledge is power.

Not hardi board.I've done an exterior of a house where I would power wash the house first thing in the morning.
