In my area, anything under $1,000 a month is pretty safe while houses over $1,200 can be volatile when the energy industry takes a hit like it did in 2016.

Price point has changed and interest rates have changed, yet many investors are shoot for the stars... 

Just having a Zillow account won't generate leads - you need to get 5 5-star ratings to boost you profile and make sure you are quick to respond to anything that does come through. 

So always shoot for the stars.

The owner inherited it, and just ran out of energy trying to fix it up himself.

I know, no management company is perfect, so I don't expect 4 stars...but 1.5??

Hello BP Nation,This is not a real estate success story in of itself, however, my path to real estate success helped to enable this great success of my youngest son - Santino Barnard who co-stars in a new TV comedy series premiering tonight, October 16th, 2018 on ABC (channel 7) at 8:30 PM Pacific Time.

Although, not the most energy efficient window, it does give a great look to older home!

@Lisa Miller I personally have one realtor that I do most of my work with, because she is a rock star.

I will need someone that can go look at the properties to let me know how much they will rent for and what repairs are needed.Does anyone know a “rock star” property manager?
