The contractor piece can also be tough but if you have a really good contractor often times they can handle multiple deals at once.The most important part of scaling is not getting out over your skis.

EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

I’ve been hearing more people talk about ways to avoid missing opportunities while waiting for closings or refis to free up capital.How do you all handle this?

They are supposed to provide their 'expert opinion' on the condition of the property.The buyer's agent's job is to make their client happy and comfortable and give them the truth...they should be handling the situation better.....

When it comes to finding buyers who actually close, a few things have worked well for me, joining local Facebook investor groups (great for networking and deal feedback), calling agents and property managers who work with investors, and reaching out to title companies, especially ones that handle assignments.

Some investors will also hire a local co host or property manager who can handle setup, take deliveries, and oversee projects if you don’t want to be hands on.If you want to keep more control, you can also hire a designer just for the setup phase to get the property ready, then hand it off to your cleaner or PM.

Don’t get me wrong — understanding how tenant screening, maintenance, or rent collection is handled is important.

To qualify for Real Estate Professional Status (REPS), your hours need to come from activities directly tied to your own rental properties—like acquiring, managing, leasing, coordinating repairs, or handling tenant and bookkeeping tasks—while unrelated work doesn’t count.

Since I work with a lending group, I’ve seen how much smoother deals go when the money side is handled quickly and cleanly.Feel free to connect if you want to trade more ideas and insights
