We cleaned the house out, scrubbed down nicotine walls, replaced flooring, repainted house and kitchen cabinets, replaced countertop and light fixtures throughout.

I found that pre-scrubbing my lists against Google Maps data cut my undeliverable rate by about 15% and kept my 'cost per lead' lower.

After making a few adjustments, scrubbing list and not calling all 8 skip traced numbers.

I was seeing ~15% of my budget wasted on postage for vacant lots or invalid addresses.I actually built a small tool to 'pre-scrub' my lists against Google Maps data before I send them to the mail house.

Things like scrubbing lead lists and quickly running comps or finding patterns in large sets of seller responses.

I run my lists from the florida fetch website which is only accurate one, and I found a tool that scrubs the DNC list free thankfully.I haven't turned from the sphere, I keep up weekly, but a good chunk of people I know now look at me as "the investor" and go to someone else when buying for personal home unfortunately.  

Use an alternative screening service that provides a deeper scrub (ask questions and verify what they do). 

It seems like theyre more concerned with collecting info on the buyers and sellers of the property than with the source of the funds used, which was what the beneficial owners/BOI filing was about before they scrubbed bill a year ago.It looks like this is all about getting the same info they would get from a chartered bank when it comes to AML/KYC stuff.

On St Helena Island/Beaufort area, I would guestimate annual insurance premiums at 1% of the property FMV for initial scrubs.

.- You close on December 10th- The property is in great shape and does not need any significant repairs- It only needs some paint touch-up and changing a couple of broken fixtures, which you do yourself- You spend the next week buying furniture, electronics and supplies and installing/arranging everything yourself- You also roll up your sleeves and scrub the toilets and sinks and appliances- You list it on AirBnB/VRBO and have your first guest for the 3 days of Christmas- You second guest rents it from December 28th through January 3rd.- You personally clean and restock the place between these two guestsCongrats!
