I'm certainly not trying to dissuade you from getting into the VR market, it has brought us fantastic cash flow, I just don't want you to be unpleasantly surprised down the road. 

A poorly renovated property, or a disengaged property manager, will make for a very unpleasant experience.  

I work in a shelter where hundreds od beautiful UNWANTED Dogs are killed each week. 

Oh gosh, these memories are unpleasant :(

You don’t want to end up with an unwanted tenant.The alternative would be a double market rent, paid in advance for 3 months, applied to the purchase if the closing occurs within “X” days of the scheduled closing.

Northern Wisconsin is full of fantastic “unwanted” rural land deals.

It brushes up with some rough areas but given its strong Italian Heritage, the town does a good job of keeping the unwanted out. 

There are no amenities to draw higher paying tenants to the area and getting to downtown without a car is an unpleasant experience unless you’re near the American tobacco trail.

So I could find pleasant or a lot of unpleasant surprises later on in the process.The rents seem reasonable but also look like they have room to go higher.

, but one thing caught me by unpleasant surprise: Property Taxes for rentals are crazy 2.1 - 2.3%!
