I have never owned my own property, yet grew up in a family real-estate holding company and directly understand the power of real estate investing.Since 2020 ive seen homes double in price. 

It saved me when things got real (hello, crazy boyfriend with trust issues).Security Deposit: Non-NegotiableOne full month of rent as a security deposit (at the very least!)

If you’re in a hurry to find a deal fast then you might be going at it with too much desperation that a seller can feel and get nervous about.P.S I am a direct buyer or not a Whole Seller.

All deposits and rents are collected through RentRedi.

Any leftover gain is taxable.The $150K left after paying off expenses isn't directly taxed.

Do you also offer direct booking?

Water, power (no gas) are billed directly from the utilities company. 

Instead of platforms like Angi, try building relationships directly with contractors, architects, and developers.
