I had vendors gouge me, houses broken into and vandalized, tenants from hell, houses flood, and issues with local government.

Home Stagers often have a long list of vendor discounts, and contacts in trades men that benefit the investor.

One of the best events of the year for note investors and a great event for networking with vendors and peers alike.

Insurance company is saying roughly $28k in damages and has a preferred vendor which would do the work & direct bill. 

My focus is to find a mentor who has experience working with multi-family properties (10+ units) and needs a mentee to help him/her run the operations, find potential deals, scout areas of growth and plot their next move.My objective: To locate and hold multifamily properties with 1000 doors over the next 20 years.My skills: utilizing social media to reach a wide demographic of people, researching potential profitable situations, building rapport with vendors, working with a wide variety of people, marketing to a select target, constantly learning and maximizing resources.My intangibles: A "can be done" attitude, thinks outside the box, deliberate in decisions,and the ability to see the larger picture.My current projects: Wholesaling Campaign ( finding under priced homes and putting them under contract)I know that it is a large risk to take on someone without knowing them.

May be good for networking and vendor discounts??

You can also talk through the ring doorbell through the app for any vendors that come through or guests. 

It’s critical to build a community for yourself as a Note Investor.This community will serve you through time with deal flow, vendor resources, strategies, due diligence & workout support…you get the point.In my opinion a MMG needs to holds the following to be successful:1)A series of consistent meetups in-person & through video conferencing (i.e. once a month)2)Have a veteran player facilitating the call to help move the discussion along while they smell out opportunities3)Have a safe and open environment so nobody feels dumb bringing up any topic for discussion4)Synergy formation through positive discussion.This could lead to forming buying partnerships, teaming, shared resources, and a whole host of other positive moves5)NO SELLING POLICY.The MMG should not be a forum for selling products and services to each other.Any one else have any thoughts on this?

@Charlie MacPherson  I did not look at it that way either but was told this by my vendors that own hundreds of C class rentals.. waht they don't like is private secluded streets... houses get stripped there..  

Because with lawn service not only are things kept in good condition BUT with the right vendor, your getting a free weekly inspection as well.
