Proactive communication!

I was alot more skeptical than my wife was about working with them, but i do have to say that their communication has been responsive and they have delivered on everything they said they would, so I have no complaints so far anyway.

Industry best practice is timely communication — typically before, and after completion (with photos for documentation).

Outsource 80% of tasks like admin, tenant calls, and repairs to property managers or virtual assistants—focus only on the critical 20%: finding deals, decision-making, and building your investment strategy.

Many investors skip this and end up unhappy simply because they hired without clarity.Once your list is clear, develop interview questions that directly relate to those tasks.Red flags include poor communication, vague or hidden fees, lack of thorough tenant screening, and a weak maintenance process.

I've been helping my pop with his business (acting as CEO) for about 3 years now (remotely since his business is in Puerto Rico) but I'm desperate for REI action from the USA, I NEED to continue learning.I think helping USA RE Investors remotely from here (CR) is a no-brainer; I have a laptop with VPN, a cell phone with a USA phone number (T-Mobile), speak both English and Spanish, AND have been learning REI since 2019.If you want to connect and have a quick chat, feel free to "WhatsApp" me (that's how all communications works here in CR"

Investors are finding value in mid-sized metros where affordability + growth + infrastructure are aligning.Affordability pressure, rising interest rates, and inflation mean investors need partners who can forecast, plan proactively, and communicate transparently.So here’s what I want to ask property managers, realtors, and investors: in the market(s) you work in, are you seeing these trends?

What works for me is pairing a foreman who’s good with psychology (basically the contractor whisperer) with a project manager who tracks budgets and deadlines (sometimes even virtual).

Even my local clients communicate with me virtually post-Covid.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1222774-expla...Another point explained in this post is that we are not allowed to tell you "I will be happy to help you" until/if the moderators move your post into Classifieds.

It's great to see another female developer here in Chicago :)I've also been developing properties in Chicago for the past five years – everything from SFH gut rehabs to new construction single-family homes and small multi-unit buildings.While I'm currently taking a bit of a development 'hiatus' to focus on scaling my private lending operations, I'm always enthusiastic about connecting with other developers and aspiring developers in our area, especially fellow women in the field.I'd love to connect with you, whether virtually or perhaps in person sometime if you're open to it.Let me know if that's something you'd be interested in!
