Does anyone have a tip on getting names and contact owners for properties (listed or not)?

Any tips?

I believe I have wasted approximately 8 hours waiting for no one to show and not answer phone calls. 2-Those they do show up want to ask me to work with the deposit and do it in payments,which I will work with, and then they find out I perform credit and background checks via Cozy.co and they run like a scalded ape because "I cant afford a $39 credit check and background check."

@Alex Deacon solid tip, thank you!

Thanks for the tip, I'll use that website next timeAlso I did 10% for capex, does that sound reasonable to you?

Hi Kris, thank you for the tips!

But AirBNB is free, other than the 3% credit card charge which you cannot escape no matter where you get guests.At the end of the day, having two listing companies is no more work than one.

VA IRRRL will have the lowest rate on a VA loan simply because they are the cheapest to originate... no appraisal, no income calc, etc, these are as close to no doc loans as you can get in 2018, and it's still a VA loan backed by the full faith and credit of the US Gov't, meaning close zero risk for the lender. 

Most buyer agents will bargain for repairs or reducing the purchase price / seller credits after defects are found.

I had a knack for finding the deals,  Had credit ratings and relationships with the financial institutions.
