Hello- I have a. situation that I need some clarification and understanding.Situation: My wife is the Conservator and legal guardian of her mother who is in memory care. In order to help finance the care, we are curre...

Things they did bad which I wish I had asked more information about:Never involved in the screening of tenantsThey recommended keys for cash by waiving the rent amount buy only collecting fees which they would get not meThe cost to evict is 750-950 yet other companies told me they will include eviction in the priceThe tenant didnt pay in full last month and I was the one calling out to them and asking questions then a few days later I get an email saying something happened with the tenant and they are investigating.You get passed from person to person every week or so.No one told me when the construction was complete and so the house was ready for a week and the post to zillow and other sites was not done.It took them another week to take pictures and then another week to upload it.I was paying 200 dollar a month electric bills while the house was vacant because they left the AC running in the empty property.

However, a common benchmark is aiming for at least 6-8% cash-on-cash return based on your total investment (purchase price + rehab + closing costs).Always factor in appreciation potential, tax benefits, and personal risk tolerance.

(Either with the roofing company, a heloc, or a personal loan.)Either way you will probably be way ahead on interest saved unless you have a sub 6% interest rate.

I've personally sold a number of properties to VA buyers.

If you need a conntection in Upstate NY I can direct you to the right person.

My recommendation would be to engage an investment property focused realtor (not a general residential realtor) and let that person guide you through the process from pre-qualification to market/property valuation and selection. 

Connect with a housing coordinator if that position is available in your area and stay in contact with that person.
