By nickel and dime-ing it I did not mean we were buying cheap or low quality properties, I meant we were adding properties as they became available in neighborhoods where we were already invested.

They took the other ad down when I did.2.

We discovered the previous owner had dementia which explained most of the work we needed to do, Our short-term is improving that unit to rental standard, not necessarily adding property value as he and I are still drawing floor plans for Long term.Thank you!!!

BP is not an inexpensive place to market yourself with the Ad fee structure so agents and those that dont have large budgets could never afford it.. so the ( as its now called ) reverse trolling is the way these folks are trying to drum up bizz ?

It's an agency, and I could invest in ads to drive more business.. in theory the return there would blow the return of rentals out of the park. 

You mentioned the following: "Take a look at what markets you are planning on starting in and make sure it is a growing market where the appreciation is obvious (emphasis added)."

Have you thought about adding a game room for kids? 

I’m eating breakfast and adding thoughts as they pop in my head. 

Lastly, if the tenant does become delinquent and we have to file a claim with Rhino Insurance to collect their deposit, we're adding to the financial woes of that tenant and putting them into an even worse financial position when they wouldn't have qualified in the first place.Thoughts?

My original SFR was 1100sf and I added 2 units: an 800sf SB9 unit and a 750sf ADU (converted garage plus addition).
