Baselane, on the other hand, provides everything you need at a reasonable cost and is tailored for smaller landlords like us.

Have you started thinking about your strategy or exploring potential markets?

In any case, successful wholesaling REQUIRES the knowledge, experience, and ability to accurately estimate repair and rehab costs and time.  

You'll find that rental property investing isn't scary at all and a great property manager can actually save you more money than they will cost!

Finally, short-term rentals can offer potential tax advantages, as many expenses associated with the property may be deductible.

I usually use the FMRs for the area as a minimum rent, but if you can attract non-S8 tenants, that works too.Can you share any numbers on the opportunity: purchase price/door, any rehab costs, ARV? 

Houston's diverse, and the real estate market is buzzing.Check your budget, how much risk you can handle, and what you want from the investment.Montrose, The Heights, Eado, and Museum District are buzzin' with mid-term rental potential.Research the neighborhoods, check the rates, and do the math on costs before diving in.

Then, more advanced stuff that those without licenses will have a tough time with: active real estate agents working the area - so i can call them to preview my house - in case they run into potential buyers they know of in their office, Then, I have Listingbook software on my I-phone ( Works with MLS data- by subscription)- that actually knows the number of searches of homes in any given area - so I can blast a promotion of my house to all the agents that have clients looking in the area (not just my subdivision -unless that is what I want), and...for the investor in me: track all the mortgages recorded against the property, so I know how low of an offer I can make - based on the mortgages on the property.

Most likely trying to find a sucker to buy this and take over the costly legal battle they are entailed in.So next time someone is like "yeah just get a deed in lieu at closing", think twice about that.Actually, I use the deed in lieu.  

By the end of 2 years, I could save 50-60k for a down payment, closing costs, and reserves.
