Instead of attempting to get some arbitrary guess on your costs, wouldn't it be more valuable to you to get a more precise figure?

They all think they are going to a meeting and the lovely Christina is going to be there to show them how to remodel a home.The folks that are TV reality show stars ( other than ARmando) simply rent their name and make a bundle doing that. they might show up at the big event and talk for 30 minutes shake some hands and down the road they go.

Do you want to be an investor.

My wife and I are interested in buying our next rental property, particularly a SFH and we plan to rent by the room, and possibly go through Padsplit and rent by the room.I own a duplex from before our marriage which is rented out on both sides and she owns a townhouse from before we got married that were currently living in.

When I say "ask the questions" i mean literally ask the prospective tenant, you will be able to get a feel for them if they are witholding or being decietful, Then go with your gut feeling.

This way I'm aware of the end buyers buy box before I go locking up contracts with sellers.  

Other than that, you will need to network with a lot of people to find seller finance deals.

Also, due to increased liability exposure property insurance premiums is adversely impacted causing fewer and fewer building owners to seek out ATM tenants.

The brokerage should be very glad to have you onboard.I'm looking forward to your future posts as you share your success. 

Maybe you did not explain it right, or maybe they want to see you succeed on your first deal then will throw money into the investment the next go around.
