It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain.

If the higher end rent prices on comparable units take an extra month to fill the vacancy and also the tenant stays 1-2 years instead of 3-4 years on average those landlord make LESS income charging that rental price ESPECIALLY if they pay a PM a placement fee upon turnover on top.

So most agents are only putting about half of that $12k in their pocket, and out of that $6k they have to cover all of their operating expenses: licensing fees, MLS/ Realtor Association fees, continuing education classes to stay compliant with licensing requirements, monthly "desk" fees/ technology fees to their brokerage, health insurance for themselves and their family, errors and omissions insurance (required), marketing, car, car insurance, gas, clothes, computer/ software, cell phone, closing gifts, signs, photography, staging if they offer that, etc.

Otherwise, you won't have the extra funds necessary to cover the rising costs of goods and services in the future.What causes rents (and prices) to increase?

The only reason I buy them is because I think that if I get one extra detail that was missed in another, it is worth the course price.The land riches blueprint covers building up capital, passive income, subdividing, entitlement & more which is why I value it more than others. 

In practice, this could mean 5 extra days that no rent is collected.

In return he will place the down payment, closing costs and IO payments during the HML.If the property is initially purchased by one LLC (Ours) and there is an active loan on the property, is it possible to register half of the property under the name of the investor's LLC as part of our model?

They are generous on the values so sometime my actual cash out of pocket is less than 15%, for example, I pay 102K for a house that appraises for 108K, the extra 6K they count towards my down payment so I get a mortgage for 91,800 because that's 85% of 108K and I write a check for about 10K.

I will continue to do what I have been doing for a decade and a half.
