My cost wont necessarily be the same or comparable as I GC my own projects and have trade skills.

It was all really quick, and the time to complete everything happened a lot faster than I expected (which was a good thing).I was worried at first that I had to use all the partners that Rent to Retirement had, but it was really easy for me to shop around for different lenders with different terms and rates, insurance providers, and property management company.

For the contractors, there are always going to be ones that have you already saying yes to stuff and will just continue to send crazy change orders, and when they do that is when you stop the project and go elsewhere. 

With average rents in Charlotte hovering around $1,800 to $2,000, that means an average agent fee of just $190—if the management company even pays the showing fee.I understand that this may vary by market, but in mine, I don’t see agents being incentivized to work with renters.

When evaluating a property management company, it's important to look beyond just the management fee and consider the full scope of services and costs involved.For example, at our company, we charge a 10% monthly management fee, a $250 lease renewal fee (unless it’s a takeover tenant, which requires additional effort to establish a strong relationship - because usually people are changing pm companies for a reason), and the first month’s rent as a leasing fee.

The growing tech sector, infrastructure projects, and diverse job opportunities continue to drive population growth, making Atlanta a promising option for multi-family investments.

It's low class but some managers I know make s killing.houses are in poor condition since they were built quickly in 1946 to house the returning soldiers from the war👍 

Whether you’re managing properties, operating STRs or long-term rentals (LTRs), or just have an opinion on the state of the market, I’m eager to hear your thoughts and any new developments you’ve noticed.Here are a few things I’ve observed:Increased Supply of RentalsI’ve lived in Gainesville for a while now, and I remember a time when it was tough to find a rental.

Easy to dump a lousy rental, but impossible to get back the time we wasted in managing it.
