Also, it's often a pass through cost, at the very least the insurance policy has to be, but even the commitment and searches I usually see end buyers paying for. 

Personally, I'd love to BRRR some multifamily properties in Vancouver (WA) to start out, I just need to make the plunge and commit.

This eliminates probably half of the people who showed interest through craigslist, apartments.com, zillow, hotpads, etc.Hi,We start the process with a phone conversation to go over details about the rental, answer any questions that you may have, and do a quick prequalification to make sure it’s a good fit before setting up a showing.Please call at your convenience.Best regards, TroyThe way I look at it is if that email scares them off, they likely have qualification issues; or, if they're not interested or committed enough to want to make that phone call and go through the process, I don't want to waste my time on them.

Regardless, I still consider myself a complete beginner, and am prepared to learn (or re-learn) everything from the ground up.I've recently reached a major turning point in my life, where I decided to commit to building a real estate business, instead of continuing to focus on my pharmacy career. 

Don't commit to anything too large.

Now I am no expert on acquiring leads but I am committed to learning.

So-so tenants are very costly (we have found that from experience) both financially and in terms of time commitment and stress.

@Mike Dorneman I’m kicking myself for taking so long to committing to investing, we research, run numbers, put in offer and so far...nada!

pretty tough to get title commitment in those areas in 2 days.. 2 to 3 weeks is FAST for most HML s if you are not known to them already. and cash out is tougher for sure.
