@Mike Calvey The only thing I truly don’t like so far is setting up appointments for a showing and then not having people show up.

Anyone know of a title company in ...... that does double closings?

Does any one have experience with direct mail marketing companies like Wise Pelican, ReminderMedia or Mailchimp?

If I had property management I would be paying a couple thousand dollars each month for that service, then having to still pay the PM Company’s contractors at a marked up rate for every repair.

Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing heavy in our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon.

Here are a few I recommend: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Roberto Kiyosaki; "Set for Life" by Scott Trench; "The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing" by Spencer; "The BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide" found here on BP; "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Tuner.

Those are money makers for companies.

Thanks What would you say your unique skill set is?
