@Martti Eckert in our opinion, you'll need to be really familiar with construction, including costs, or be able to find somoen on the ground you can REALLY trust (but still verify).

I would thank him for his feedback and share that you made a business decision that is mutually beneficial (https://www.avail.co/education/articles/should-you-collect-r...scroll down towards the bottom of the page to see the comparison) which includes providing the tenant with a receipt and rent reminders.  

Maintain - includes taxes and insurance?

From my experience, security has been good, there’s plenty of space around the pools and clubhouse area too, so it’s never loud or crowded, and the HOA appears to also cater to a broader more modern and contemporary audience, to include its Canadian, Brazilian and European guests and investors.

Your team is the most important thing you can acquire first before any investment your purchase. 

I currently have 7 rentals units ( two three unit properties, an investment condo and a garage space) Currently I accept many forms of payment including Zelle, Venmo and paper checks.

If you are looking to just calculate profitability, set how much profit you want to make then:ARV - Purchase Costs - Holding Costs - Selling Costs - Desired Profit - Rehab Budget (including contingency) = Maximum Allowable OfferIF you cannot calculate those numbers, a spreadsheet isn't going to help you. 

This includes trips to properties for evaluations, trips to Home Depot, etc. 

(yeah, maybe I shouldn't be broadcasting my sick twisted forms of entertainment and strategy should I)BUT, most importantly is KNOW YOUR MAO and follow the math. 

Thats an important question to ask nowadays, we were scammed by a marketing/SEO company who is now overseas and has a PO box in US only so basically untouchable.
