We abated the walls, and that added $10,000 to our costs.

However, one nice thing about this community is a one-time cost and it doesn't require additional payments.

The peak season is during the summer months, between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

They are even working on getting me the evicted tenant's security deposit, the missing JANUARY rent since the place is still empty, and covering the cost of my own manager re-listing the property.

Turning over some kind of commercial property is more labor intensive but it also scales quickly because of potential returns.

They have cost my business tens of thousands of dollars and countless wasted hours of follow ups and missed opportunities.

Maybe that is gross profit when you sell it, but what about the cost to build it?  

Or if you want a lower monthly payment, then do the 20% down.You can also negotiate credits with the sellers to use towards your closing costs or rate buy down.

Eastmoor and whitehall are good too because of newer home ages after 1940 where you don't have knob and tube wiring and some of the other issues. don't be afraid to look at new construction or ground up new builds closer to downtown. rentals are overpriced in these areas but build costs are low and it can be a good strategy 

I personally do not prefer to hold high cost SFRs as LTR investments.
