I will keep my eye out and let you know if I hear of anyone that would fit this role.

I can also keep an eye on the house when empty and who is coming and going.

They said before we discuss anything in detail they want me to sign a non-disclosure agreement.Can anyone think of a reason why an investor wouldn't want to sign an NDA to find out more about a property?

Try  to make your messages more personalized, as suggested above.I believe this is a bug, and I'm going to connect with you  privately  to get more details so our developers can fix this.Thank you!

But please keep hunting down the details and please let me know if/when you find them.

@Brad Lowery so what makes a company "good" or "best" in your friend's eyes.

Private message me for details about the deal if you're interested.

Also, by doing these recordings, you will force yourself to pay attention to every aspect and detail that might need attention, without really annoying the showing agent by slowing the viewing down too much.Lastly, go online and look for housing inspection check lists--there are dozens listed there, and then check for your local 'repair costs'. 

In a lot of ways, C, C+, B, etc are in the eye of the beholder, so look for a place you (and potential compatible tenants/roommates) will be comfortable moving around in every day and forget what grade someone else might give it.Once you have the basic requirements decided, I'd go on a real estate sales site (Zillow is my personal favorite, but also Redfin, Realtor.com etc) and just start looking around at listings in your price range to find affordable neighborhoods to target and start driving around, then drive drive drive.

My eyes have been opened to the endless opportunities in Real Estate Investing.
