Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Funny how, as the years roll by, there’s been a major shift in my approach.

I’d be very grateful for any advice or recommendations on how best to approach these modifications.Also if I were to refinance in the future to pull out cash from the property, is this something that banks could refuse to lend on if I have code violations of lets say a wall that was moved or removed?

This approach attracts renters due to lower interest rates.

In Milwaukee, look into networking groups like the Milwaukee Real Estate Investors Association (MKE REIA) lot's of different approaches covered including wholesaling and flips, or if you decide on buy and hold the Rental Property Association (RPA) of WI is great.

With winter fast approaching I need to fill vacancies fast.I have read through some of the post here and understand it can be a decent cash flow, but I would love some recent  feedback from anyone that’s in the padsplit market in Atlanta on what to expect.  

We also sometimes do they hybrid approach with MTR/STR. 

Your approach of fixing them up nice enough is one of several things some dont seem to comprehend.

Instead, we decided to try a “cash-for-keys” approach, offering him financial assistance to peacefully vacate the property.My wife Shelly and I went to the property to speak with him in person.

We have a work instruction we have made for our business which has definitely helped my wife and I become more consistent in our approach which has also improved our results.
