Selecting bad PM's and now considering selecting a bad tenant...

The builder is not Hollistic REI it is Southern Impression Homes LLC. 

By the way, anyone please feel free to jump in and correct me or add to any of these points.The next vague impression I had been given about commercial property is you’ll be dealing with more hard nosed and knowledgeable people.

The type of cleaning service would depend on the property that is selected.

I have committed myself to being as educated as possible so that when I have put in a few years of self-management I can then select and manage a good PM.

You can invest in any market selecting the ones that you believe are seeing the most growth, and do it from anywhere.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

However, you can expect to recover about 50-55% of your investment when selling the home.Improve curb appeal, which is what you mentioned before, clean up the exterior, add landscaping, and make minor improvements to enhance the property's first impression.

It is the only calculator of its kind to help you determine: if househacking is a better investment than a traditional home purchase, how long to hold onto the investment before selling, how long to live in the property, and which unit to occupy.If this will be a traditional rental property investment (not a househack), select ‘renter’ for all units under the Summary Tab’s ‘Property Information’ section.Metrics used for the deal analysis:The purchase price is based on the median sale price - $1,450,000 Unit bed/bath counts are based on the median 5 bed/3 bath counts for sold Astoria 2-family properties this year.Projected rents are $3,200 and $3,900 respectively as shown in our median rents for 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom apartments.Not included in the analysis is ADU income.

Greetings from FL, where I've only been using RentRedi for about 3 months but have been so less than impressed.
