Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.

Budget between 300K and 400K.Any areas that have the potential for a good cash flow?

hey guys, I've been talking to a potential PM for my townhouse and he sent me his PM agreement for review.There are a few things in the agreement I didn't like, but I'm not sure if these are common practice or true RED flags.Would love to hear your thoughts...

I haven't thought as far ahead as looking at potential areas to buy property.

By emphasizing your qualifications as the basis for your decision, you steer clear of potential issues related to discrimination.

Stairs are the only way to get in, no grab rails in the bathroom, ramps that are too steep, etc.From what I've read, all commercial businesses/buildings (including ones before the ADA was passed) have to comply with the rules, unless it would be outrageously tough to fix (like installing an elevator in an already built building).Are all these local business just not complying and taking the risk, or am I missing something? 

Perhaps we need potential forum users to take a basic etiquette quiz before they can post!

Hi guys, I have some questions about putting property into LLCs/protecting assets, any information is greatly appreciated: Question 1: my understanding is that an LLC needs to be actively conducting business in its registered state in order for the LLC protections to apply, otherwise a judge could potentially pierce the corporate veil.

This is how I see it:Single-Family Homes:Pros:Larger pool of potential tenants (families).Simpler management (one tenant, one lease).Often easier to finance.May appreciate faster in some markets.Cons:Only one income stream.Vacancy hits harder financially.Duplexes:Pros:Two potential income streams.Live in one unit and rent the other (house hacking!)
