NEWBIE w/LOTS of Questions...
Hey All,
My husband and I are Newbies to the RE Investment world, and we have lots of questions that we know you all can answer :)
- We are in the process of closing on an unoccupied 4-plex with an occupied apartment in back. We are considering offering the spaces with all utilities, cable, and internet included. Is this a good idea?
- What is the best way to get tenants? Are there any websites, etc. that you all feel work better than others.
- The property is approximately 2 hours away in our hometown where several close family members still reside. Should we hire a PM? If so, what is a decent percentage for this service? The previous PM/current realtor charges 12%.
- How are taxes filed as the property will be listed under our LLC.
I think that's all...for now anyway :)
Thanks!!

@Nita Martin. Don’t offer utilities to tenants that’s a bad idea.
