Even on collecting deposits etc.

Your collective wisdom is invaluable, and I’m eager to learn from your experiences.

, we are super blessed, it was not easy but it wasn't super hard either, and the tools here at BP are a VERY good resource to Analyse deals. thank you, guys.we are renting this property now to a wonderful family, they are super happy with the place, and we are collecting $1,200 P/M rent with over just over $500 in cash flow :) I just wanted to share to encourage new investors!!!!

I will try to post how it goes, but November again is not optimal time to be placing a tenant.I suggest having leases end in late spring or early summer so placing tenant is at an optimal time.Good luck 

You can't make a seller move out before performing an inspection to have optimal circumstances to inspect. 

@Dave Charron, just a guess but perhaps the company wasn't properly insured or the guy wasn't an on the books employee and also the company probably has no suitable assets that can be sold off to collect against them. 

We spent about $9,500 on furnishings including furniture, electronics, kitchenware, bedding, towels, etc. for our 2/2 condos.For market pricing, I collect LTR data from BP rent calculator and multiply by 1.5x.

The other thing to keep in mind is that you will have to keep a supply closer or room with your extra bedding and materials and a checklist for you cleaning person to run when they turn the unit, as well as a smooth process to screen, lease sign, and collect payment from the guest.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.
