Hello @Aaron Maxwell,Calling is more time consuming but more cost effective.

Whether you own a single rental property or manage a portfolio of multifamily units, effective property management can be the difference between success and failure in real estate.What is Property Management?

@Adam Peralto More & more owners are posting here on BP about their rentals sitting vacant too long.Which means owners aren't paying attention to the rental market - which is slowing, causing Days On Market (DOM) to increase:(Take a look at the graph below from ShowMojo, comparing average DOM for 2018-2024.DOM are now about 40% longer than they were 2 years ago.Many owners also don't seem to be aware of real estate market fundamentals, such as seasonal effects:1) After September, when kids go back to school, there's a noticeable dip in activity in both the sales & rentals.2) After Halloween, there's another noticeable dip.

Many reasons: to encourage/discourage certain economic behavior, to appease a certain industry lobby or some fellow lawmakers or even sometimes a private individual, to buy votes, to balance economic effects of a new law, as well as simply out of incompetence of our lawmakers.

So the effect is a confiscation of private property and a transfer of the property for no cost from the landlord to the tenant. 

How do you effectively determine this and how do you propose to the bank to support your rehab costs (again guessing this has to come out of your pocket?)

Then you'll just have to take a chance and find out.I have my theory about who succeeds and who doesn't and I'm working on a Blog to explain it.

Find out where you stand (whether they'd give you the loan, how your credit score effects it, and what your mortgage payment would be).

Reading books, blogs, forums and all that is great but the bottom line is we got into it before we ever did any of that.

TT and Youtube also, but you'd have to funnel them to IG to be able to effectively DM.
