I've recently learned that the rent money is being paid into an escrow account with the City of Cleveland.This was all triggered by four minor housing violations that need to be addressed.

Like many rookies, I drive around and jot down addresses of houses that look distressed, scroll Airbnb and check out properties, research neighborhoods online, and have about 100 saved properties on redfin and zillow. 

This helps improve deliverability because you’re reaching real, valid email addresses.

You're positioning to move that capital into flips where your actual skill set creates value.On the legal side: Your attorney needs to address whether the tenant occupying one unit affects his "share" before any of this goes to market.

It cuts out the undeliverables upfront so my response rate looks higher (because I'm only mailing real houses).Happy to let you run a batch of 500 addresses through it for free if you want to see if it saves you some postage money.

I’ve successfully built a stack that automates the intake and skip-tracing process for approximately $0.15–$0.30 per lead (API costs only).The Strategic Flow:Data Integrity: Using Google Address Autocomplete to ensure zero-error data entry from the start.Instant Valuation: Pulling real-time market data to provide the seller with a custom offer range immediately.Automated Skip Tracing: The system automatically pulls legal owner names, mobile numbers, and emails the second the form is submitted.Remote Management: I manage the entire logic (margins, repair costs, SMS triggers) through a Slack/Telegram integration so I don't need a heavy CRM.I’m currently running this through a Google Sheets backend to keep the tech stack lightweight.I’m curious to hear from the veterans here—at what volume does it make sense to move away from 'all-in-one' platforms and into custom API-driven automation?

You have to dig through TCAD records and city zoning maps, which is a pain.So I made a free tool that does it for you: https://austinadu.comJust type in an address and it pulls up the lot size, zoning, permit history, and tells you if you can add units.

If you'd like the download shoot me a message with your email address and I'll send it with the instructions.

Hi everyone, I just came across this thread, and wanted to address a few items.

In response to that very email, we get an email with a partnership return attached, including K1s for all 25 partners with their SSNs and addresses.
