Hello, 

I would love to connect with an agent in the Fort Lauderdale area that is investor friendly / invests themselves. It would be great if he/she is very knowledgeable with STRs and Creative Financing as well. 

Please reach out to me if you have anyone you'd recommend. I appreciate your help! 

Thanks, Alex

Hi All!! 

Hoping to reach out and see if anyone has recommendations on reliable, good quality contractors that are licensed and insured in the Phoenix area. I'd prefer if you've worked with the contractors directly and can attest of their work! I greatly appreciate it!

@Alex Prescott Are you looking for a general contractor as well? Or are you planning to do the rehab yourself? 

You may need to figure out your budget / big ticket items and what you want completed at the property to make it sell quickly. What area in KC? DM me if you'd like to chat about it more! I have a few properties in KC.

Hey BP community! 

Quick question for those who actively flip or have flipped before. 

What is the minimum profit you look for in a flip that makes it worthwhile rather than hold it long term as a rental? 

Thanks for your input!

Hi Everyone! 

I'm hoping to get some recommendations on contractors in KCK. It is for a single family property that is already partially rehabbed and needs finishing touches (vanity installed, kitchen island, light fixtures), and would like a finished basement. The basement is bare right now. If you have any contractors that you recommend in KC, I'd REALLY appreciate it. 

Thanks so much!

Post: Taking Over Month - Month Tenants (Kansas City, MO)

Hi All! 

I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with... 

We are about to make an offer for a property that has tenants in place. The tenants have been there 10 years and 25 years (duplex). The rent is wayyyy below market (like half of what it is currently going for now). Both tenants are month to month. If we do take over we have to raise rents for the current tenant in order to make the numbers work for us OR we will have to make sure their lease is up prior to us taking it over, so we can rehab it and increase rent for future tenants. 

We feel bad because they've been in this property for so long, but it is in a desirable location and a great find. How can we go about doing this? Is there a law that we cannot raise rents that high for them even though we are taking over the property? Thanks for all of your advice and help!
