Currently prepping a new property in Arizona for the rental market and seeking advice on planned updates:Considering upgrading laminate countertops to quartz for durability and aesthetic appeal.Freshening up interiors with a repaint.Looking for reliable washer and dryer units suitable for rentals.

The 200k I would make selling the lots wont get me really far as It could afford me another duplex or triplex, but since I have 9 Freddie Mac mortgages, and my tax returns dont really show the truth of what I make due to depreciation, I cant get loans, so that 200k wont do much in so far as my goals....I am selling two of my single families t o get debt of my sheet and some profits, but that'll take approx 4 months from start close.....But I know the risk here, but I am afraid to walk away and afraid not to :/ its a conundrum...So all I can do is have a consultant who can make sure everything is going as it should and I learn in the process....My goal right now is to learn as much as I can before even breaking ground as to not be reliable on someone when I have alot at risk.

Another option, that I say good results is listing in zillow, at the time it was free to do it there.In my case, I have negotiated with my realtor a lower one month commission to a 75% of the first rent, and he manages all the calls, tenant verification, and showing.

Guests appreciate the quick responses and the detailed information they receive, which sets a positive tone for their stay right from the start.For those looking to implement automation but unsure where to start, my advice is to begin by centralizing your guest data using a reliable software platform.

In the meantime section 8 provided reliable income stream to assist with carry costs. 

And his quote "How true - you get what you pay for after checking qualifications, expertise and reliability."

If you're seeking a reliable income stream, consider checking out Cleveland.

I recommend starting with finding a reliable agent who can introduce you to both on and off-market deals suited for investors.

While this is not all inclusive, I went to Verifvest and looked around on their website and the list of groups that are paying to be a part of that verification process.  

From my experience, the most reputable/reliable GCs will charge for a scope of work and overall consultation/advice.
