Hello, Patrick. 

I am in Chicago and have a brick three flat with a dirt basement. About 1,200 square feet. Should be able to get back and side access. Do you think that affects your numbers for St. Louis poster? I'm in 60653 area code.

Any suggestions for contractors?

Thanks. 

Morning, Dave. 

Does your offer on sharing your VA still stand? I am trying to use another Craigslist tool, called automarketer and it is not working. Thanks.

Thanks, Syed!

Househacking a three-flat in Chicago proper with a VA loan. The quotes we are getting for property insurance are outrageous. We are owner-occupying. The property is on the South Side of Chicago.

Anyone worked with a good insurance agent? 

Thanks.

Thanks, everyone! I was able to find the "Units" selection. The "duplex..." isn't used in my area so there were zero hits. We say "two-flat, three-flat, four-flat". Really appreciate the help! I"m going to direct mail for a multifamily to house hack, so I'm concentrating on the area in which we want to live. I hope to either find a new home or a property to buy and hold!

Targeting 2-4 unit multifamily buildings for my marketing. Looking for a flip or a buy and hold. Is there a way to target them in Listsource? It seems to give you the option for multifamily but I can't narrow down size. 

Hello, everyone. 

I wholesaled my last property in 2008. I'm coming back to real estate and I am shocked at how much technology has changed the business. I did direct mail, bandit signs, newspaper ads, etc. I even ran a local tv ad that was created by a short-lived internet startup! But now there are Virtual Assistants, Fiverr, phone systems that leave pitches straight to voice mail, e-signatures (e-signatures!), Listsource, Investorfuse, etc. It's overwhelming. 

I see the possibilities, but I need a system. 

Can someone recommend a couple of courses that focus on marketing prospects and processing leads that focuses on automation and scalability, that costs less than $1,000? I believe that when the market downturn hit in 2008, I downturned with it because I did not have systems in place that functioned without me and so never really developed a reliable revenue stream.

Any ideas?

Welcome, Gerrell. I'm not in LA, and I'm sure you'll find some folks in the group willing to join you for coffee. But I'll bet if you did a search for "LA real estate investment groups" that you'd get a ton of hits. They really are great sources of support and information.
