I honestly wouldn't be too concerned about folks going around you (I think this is often overblown, however many facebook folks are not true "buyers" but rather other wholesalers), my main focus would be ensuring you actually have a deal to sell.Let me know if you have other questions, this is always a critical moment in the deal sourcing process!

This is critical to know as it will restrict the number of students you can have in one house. which then limits your total rent.Bets of luck to you !

Talk to older people who are doing what you want to do.Notice I didn't say offer to be their lackey for free, or add value to their organization, just make a business friend and maybe you will get inveted to some cocktail parties, or cookouts or a fun boat ride (it is Florida after all).What is your social circle, Yacht club, Ex-convicts, Community College attendees's, Drift Car owners, etc...[...NAIOP ...requirements ... age being one of them).]Well a lot of people can't go network in Afghanistan either, so cross that off your list.Where you can't go doesn't matter (unless going there is mission critical in which case if you can't your finished).Never focus on the wall--or you will hit the wall--Always focus on where you want to go (Tony Robbins).[...My coach...]Again, lack of full communication--Baseball coach, life coach, real estate coach, someone who is teaching you (???)

Hi Ethan,Old fashioned pull down roller shades (the blackout variety) don't cost much and go up in an instant.If the oven is mission critical to your lifestyle, you could always ask to break the lease and move.If it were me, I'd ask for a rent concession for the missing oven, but you rented the unit with no shades, so that seems to be on you.Get written approval before installing ANYTHING on the house.
