Your local partner can help verify if the area really supports those rents long-term.Regarding school ratings, they’re important for single-family homes but may not be as critical for duplexes, which tend to attract a more diverse renter pool (young professionals, retirees, etc.).

I am trying to get a neutral scheme that will appeal to a range of tenants, and by doing so leaning towards a more natural or darker wood look instead of a grey for the floors but there are a bunch of color options.Any opinions or tips in the matter are much appreciate, and if anyone has used this color scheme with Lifeproof flooring before that would be great!

I'm relatively new to commercial real estate and sometimes it's a lot to take in, but I'm super excited to be here and network, learn tips and tricks on real estate and investing, and build relationships with you all.

Great tips!

To echo all of the above tips, the key ingredients to all of this is consistency.

Lacey asked for $20K for furnishings and another $10K to convert the garage to a play room and add a pool heater.

Will the 6% you agree to pay a Realtor be a good return on investment versus the Buyer pool that you get exposed to. 80% of buyers will use a realtor.Lastly, a few years back I had an agent approach me to list my home and he was willing to take a 2% commission.  He was a newer realtor and I had experience reviewing offers because I’m a full-time loan officer.
