As with many business face to face contact is necessary but not on a daily bases. 3 or 4 times a year has worked well for me.

For example, if you are out finding new properties and raising money, who will be doing the daily management and maintenance?

It seems that the MLS searches can help you readily identify every neighborhood in your MSA that has a decent volume of retail sales activity in your targeted price range.

I think they will begin again in the next quarter or two due to the season and volume hitting the market here in Michigan.In the past it is pretty simple in Michigan.

Unless you do a lot of volume, don't submit all of your offers on the same day.

- While you can always go to the listing agent, in my experience, many of the big REO listing agents don't want to deal with buyers; they work on volume and systems, and having to deal with showing properties, writing offers, negotiating, etc doesn't generate enough extra income to make it worth.

I deal with these things on a daily basis.

You can have your lease w option attorney present too.The tenant buyer side of the business is aggravating, you are sifting leads daily.

I so enjoy the job that I have and the people I have met doing the daily grind.

You will then be better able to ask specific questions which are not quite so broad.There is a wealth of information here on BP, and if you take some time to read first, instead of throwing out a question which could take volumes to answer, then you will have already read the volumes, and we can better help with your specific needs.
