The ideal location for your first investment often depends on a combination of factors like budget, market growth, and your personal goals.

You will likely lose 2~4 months worth of rents + court fee. 

Separate accounts per property incurs a lot of overhead, such as minimum balances or fees for missing the minimum.I use separate accounts for each tenant's security deposits.

Brokers and attorneys often prioritize closing deals quickly to collect their fees and move on, which doesn’t always align with your goals.

I also have rentals in Detroit that I get far higher rents with cash paying tenants than I would a section 8 tenant.There are a lot of factors at play and the answer to "why would the government allow our tax dollars to be spent this way?"

While your condo snowball strategy builds equity, modest cash flow and HOA fees may limit returns.

I'd have the PM send notice to the tenants that it was brought to the owners attention and they've waived the fee and thank you for being good tenants.

When under contract at 300k with the expectation that codes would be the determining factor on what can be done on with the property, as it relates to new construction.

This property will require a pool to fully optimize its earning potential, and I've already factored that into my calculations.

If the property sold today, after 1% cost of sale there's only $2.5 million in cash coming from that sale and that's assuming that there's no exit fee on the loan and no outstanding payables.
