For the 18 months that I hired them for their services, they have charged me over $11,000 for maintenance, repairs, & upkeep of this home.

The reason I invest in real estate is because I want to get paid cash flows in perpetuity from the work I do on the front end to source deals.Although I am not a single family investment fan, this deal will act as your training wheels to get experience on the management portion of the business if you hold onto it. 

I️ have flat out told sellers they can get more money with an agent listing there property and I️ still got the deal when I️ told them my benefits of fast and hassle free service.

I was wondering if there are any meetings or training in the Orange County area that anybody knows about so I can increase my knowledge and skill set as well as network.Thank you very much!!

We use a paper application, pre-screen, and scan it to a service if they make the first cut. 

Do they basically offer training and some kind of minimum pay until one receives the license?

I have estimates of the costs for architectural services and a ball park figures for the renovation costs, acquisition costs and a financial projection of the revenues and investor recompense. 

Good luck and thanks for your service to our country and sharing your story!
