I am invested in a small multi family in TX and the management was not able to fill the property and do repairs and the income has dwindled badly.

We currently own/manage properties across a few states including Hawaii so we aren't new to managing short term/mid term rentals.

Cash flow can be great if you manage it well and keep occupancy rates high, but factor in the added costs of management, cleaning, and potential vacancy dips.

My wife continued to be the administrator of record with the state as we added homes to our portfolio and she would assign the house manager as the administrator designee for the home. 

We will manage their annual rentals once they are completed.

For our second STR, we are currently researching Sherman, potentially / ideally, a less expensive duplex that we could rennovate and self manage from Dallas with workers coming to the area in mind. 

Hi Aaron,It's always challenging when companies go through transitions like this, especially when it involves something as personal and critical as managing retirement accounts.

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.

Step 3- hire property manager to manage/look for rentersStep 4- look to refiance out of the hard money loan(how long after having a renter in can we refiance?)

It is our hope no one in Blue Metrix is a victim of such an aggressive business tactic while part of their management team faces such a difficult health challenge.
