I'm currently learning everything I can about real estate investing, with a focus on understanding the process, runnin the numbers, and doing things the right way from the start.Even though I can't invest personally, I'm using this time to build relationships, learn the business side of things, and connect with experienced agents and investors who are willing to share knowledge.I'm especially interested in connecting with agents who work with investors, because I want to understand how to identify great deals and help clients grow their portfolios.

@Jeremy Beland  Ty ~ I mean some maybe better than others for buying MFam rentals ~ so I'm looking to educate myself in how to identify the better neighborhoods 👍

With cost segregation you might identify $100,000+ of assets (furnishings, appliances, landscaping, etc.) that qualify for 5- or 15-year depreciation rather than being stretched over 27.5 or 39 years.

Obviously this created a panic in my wife who is our PM, so I started running several of our most recently placed tenants and identified numerous inconsistencies in the reports Buildium was providing.

My guess is when you have servers tracking millions of listings there are probably patterns that emerge that are outside of typical booking behavior. 

Identifying your HUD consultant/team early on.

You should identify your specific needs and interview licensed professionals operating in that market and see who fills your need. 

There are a lot of standard questions that are readily available, or the screening site you choose may have their own application forms that you can't customize.Determine how you are going to identify which application is the strongest and ensure you are asking those questions.A few less common questions we ask:- How long do you plan to live here?

There's just no way we can reasonably review every active thread and compare it with everything else to identify all spammers.

You start to see patterns these tenants pay great for 4-8 months and then something happens in their lives and now they are out of money, be very warry of turnkey properties with newish leased units.
