They get free rent/all utilities paid and I pay mine a $500 month stipend after an initial 6 month trial period.

The reason for the delay is because I initially thought I'd invest in low cost areas of California like Fresno, Bakersfield, Stockton, Sacramento, etc (due to being somewhat within driving distance of the SF Bay Area) but I held back because California's landlord laws made me very concerned.I didn't want to end up in drawn out court battles with a renter just squatting at a place I purchased with my cash. 

What the law says is often more of a last resort than a first option initially when there is a dispute because enforcing your rights in court and collecting afterwards can be costly and difficult. 2.

However, four sessions of small talk with strangers is very awkward for me.

Initial Purchase by Person A (11/1986):• Purchase Price: $52,7002.

My initial strategy is wholesaling and my markets are the Triad/Piedmont and the Triangle of NC. 

., but we thought initially it would be best to offer a cash down amount($20,000) and then offer a percentage of revenue over a three year time frame. (50% of management fees collected: yr1, 30%: yr2, 20%: yr3) until the balance of the "acquisition" price was met.Again I know I've left out a lot of info but this was just to hear some ideas or previous experiences.Some generals:Approx. 100 doorsMost are 2yr leasesMost are long term clients of the current companyAverage rent of $2300Thanks in advance and have a great weekend! 

In most situations the tenant is 100% responsible for the initial security deposit payment, and any recurring utility charges. 

Initially, my goal was to secure a multifamily property using my VA loan for leverage, focusing on long-term rentals.

This creates two loan payments ($100,000 of equity and $300,000 on the new mortgage).Key NumbersHome Equity Loan Interest Rate: 6%Mortgage Interest Rate: 7%Rental Income: $3,000 per monthExpenses (management, taxes, insurance, maintenance): $800 per monthIncome and ExpensesMonthly Rental Income: $3,000Monthly Expenses: $800Monthly Mortgage Payment: $2,000ExplanationThe investor earns $3,000 in rent each month.They pay $2,000 on the investment property mortgage and $800 on other expenses.This leaves $200 profit each month or $2,400 per year.However, you have to pay $6,000 interest on the equity borrowed.This leaves you with an annual loss of $3,600.This example shows that while the rental property generates positive monthly income, the interest cost of borrowing the initial $100,000 results in an overall annual loss.
