Starting to manage my property myself for first time, and have started getting applications. I have questions or clarifications regarding their income and student loans but not sure if I am allowed to ask them in more...

everywhere you look, gurus are telling people to start wholesaling by doing agent outreachthey make it sound simple,  just call agents, get deals, and make quick moneybut the truth is, this advice is misleading and it’s hurting the real estate marketagents are getting flooded with calls from people who don’t understand contracts, laws, or even what wholesaling really meansit wastes time, damages trust, and makes agents less likely to work with real investors who actually know what they’re doingwholesaling can be done the right way, but not by spamming agents with bad advice from youtubeif people want to wholesale, they need to learn the business, follow state laws, and build real relationshipsanything less just adds more confusion and gives wholesaling a bad nameso if you're wholesaling, I'm telling you try off market deals first, get the experience, build up the capital and once you're able to start buying houses then contact agents

@Travis Martin - I know a gal that is a tenant placement specialist and has been doing it for sometime, including for RBTR.

Her name is Linda Kline.

I estimate the damage at over 3k.the woman has requested to end the leased, which under texas law is covered as a victim of domestic violence, and that all good.The question is, is the damage recoverable from her deposit? 

Recent laws in CO change the financial responsibility from the tenant to the landlord and do not require the tenant to pay to restore!! 

Others say funding is the real bottleneck.As investors, where do you think the real challenge lies today—and how are you solving it?

They're always residential properties, which anyone could buy any residential property and do exactly the same thing for far less than what the sellers are asking because they're valuing it as a business, not a residential property, which it is.
