Look for books published in the last 2 years as some of the books post 2010 seem to give people unrealistic expectations.

Any good insurance company I should check out who are good with property damage claims (lol, my last one was horrible experience)?

-- We focus on verifying 2-year work history and verifying rent payments with last 2 landlords (unless in same property for 5+ years).3) MoveIn Specials: be careful with offering "free rent" as will just attract tenants with no cash.-- Try free TV or something else worth 25-50% of one month of rent.-- Or, what we do is offer the free rent AFTER & ONLY if they pay their first 3 months of rent on time to earn it.4) Lower the rent 5% every 2-4 weeks until activity picks up.5) Understand this is the worst time of year to find tenants.-- Starts picking back up end of February when this tenant pool starts getting their income tax refunds and aren't broke anymore.6) Section 8: where is the property being advertised?

And I used all my rental mailbox money over the last 9 years since I first started investing to buy more and more.

@Polat CaglayanI've never seen a formula but here is a general rule of thumb for multifamily:The class of an apartment refers to the quality of the building, which can be determined by a number of factors, including age, location, and condition: Class A: These are the highest quality apartments, typically built within the last 15 years.

Still, this is a poor time in the rental season and 1 months rent can be expected as a cost of vacancy (in addition to the cost to clean and touch up - $900) .Finally and I hope this is is the last one lol - Another tenant is moving out Jan 31st and this unit also requires a full cosmetic rehab.

The last thing is you must use all of the net proceeds in your exchange.

I am still obligated on the interest payment regardless of how much has been deployed but that is worked into the fund proforma and can be covered by deal cashflow.As to resale price, one of the last one's I did I sold for $125K and had a private loan for $85K which I wrapped.

Its being operated at STR from last 30 months with great cash flow.

I am from California, but lived in Peachtree City, Georgia last year (renting), and currently live in Germany as an Au Pair.
