Hi Friends, I am super new in Real Estate but currently mid-way through Temple University's Real Estate Institute to obtain a sales license.

I know that we won't likely find anything that will cash flow well, but living central is super important for us because work takes us all over from Monroe to Tacoma. 

There may be some decent ones out there now, but most look super generic and probably not what you want your REI site to look like.  

This allows me to get to know how they will be as a tenant, and how I will be as a landlord with out a super long commitment.

I think for us non-institutional, non-UHNW investors, these super low cap non-cash flow markets are not the right move.

I just (personally) haven’t found business cards to be super useful.

Many wholesalers now are just doing robo calling and trying to get folks on the phone I get one to two of those a day.. most I don't talk to some times I will .. many of these are using off shore call centers so semi broken English reading form a script.. but they produce leads.. its just like buying a car.. the sales guy ( telemarketer) then hands you off to the closer.. then you have the I buyers backed by wads of VC money big advertising budgets and super sophisticated web sites that spit out automated offers.. the business is changing no doubt.. and there is no doubt like Will Bernard stated its probably the toughest thing in real estate to master ergo 9 out of 10 never get past first base.. 

Some neighborhoods in Tacoma are not super safe, but we see more an more people prefer to live in Tacoma over other cities in Pierce county

Super nice guy, we chatted a long while at starbucks while putting the deal together.

To use an analogy, REI is like a network of super highways.
