Recently I bought a retail center and that deal has been making me think more about if it would be wise to set up a separate management company for all the properties. 

I’ve been exploring buy and hold opportunities in my area, and I recently came across a situation I’d like some advice on.I’ve come across a property in my area that I’m very interested in, but I want to make sure I approach the situation the right way.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

I recently purchased my first duplex in Peoria, AZ in September and I am using it as a house hack where I rent out one side and live in the other.

Hi everyone,I’m looking for advice on how to handle a recent request from one of my tenants.

I have a few deals I analyzed recently to give you an example.

.: I recently did some data crunching on Zillow's public datasets.

@Mitch Davidson I purchased a property recently and closing in May.

There is an offer to buy but if I include everything I've spent over the years, mortgage P&I, taxes, insurance, HOA, and recent repairs, I will just break even.

To address this I took detailed pictures from beginning to end of my most recent flip, documenting that we did a thorough job using quality materials.
