The rental market is strong here right now. I'm getting a lot of calls just with a sign but for some reason, I've had a difficult time getting bites on this house at $725 when it was at $700 previously. Location is really good. I've lowered my asking price to $700 but the short term expectancy may get it back to $725 for this applicant. The interior paint is in decent shape for this next lease but I know it will need it next time around. The increase will at least buy the paint. Any other ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

Situation: Rental applicant is in town on extended business. She says at least 18 mo. She and an associate would like to apply/ sign a 12mo lease. Should I add to the monthly rate since I know she is not a long term possibility. One of my criteria is always to try and find someone who has the possibility of staying 5-10years. What are the pros and cons? Suggestions please.

My financing should be in place in about 4 weeks. Hopefully the offers will be rolling in on yours which will make that one really attractive!

Hey Austin. That looks like the type of house I'm looking for to do first. My financing should be in place in about 3-4 weeks. What are you going to do to that house? Where is it?

I think you made the right choice. But if its in the budget to do it right it'll make the kitchen pop! I just did a small kitchen for a customer of mine and she was looking at some of that stuff. Glad she decided on the stone after I told her the risks.

Thanks to everyone for all of the great info! I'm glad I asked.

I'm just starting so I haven't come to this in my reading yet but I'd like to know the pros and cons to this subject. What situations make me lean to which solution? Thanks.

I'm Bryan O'Neal and I'm a residential contractor in a really depressed market. I'm looking for any opportunity to make a better living. I've always known that real estate had multiple options for wealth  building but aside from owning a few rentals, have not done any investing. I saw one of Cody Sperber's videos and started asking some questions online about his Fast Track program which led me to BP. I would appreciate any feedback on that particular program but I sure am glad to have found this resource. As I've already been reading, marketing is key in this biz and that's probably where I need the most improvement so I'm looking forward to the positive experience I can glean from this online community. I'm looking to start out learning about Wholesaling and any other ways to begin with little or no money. I'm also an independent insurance adjuster. I believe that I can use my damage estimating and reporting skills to generate reports that buyers might be interested in to make a purchase decision with. Does that sound useful in anyone's experience? I look forward to hearing any and all input. Thanks.
