One year ago, I was hired to help a landlord whose tenant had stopped paying.

Consider creating blogs, social media posts, or short videos on:•How to handle late-paying tenants•What to do if a tenant damages your property•Best practices for tenant screening•How to legally increase rent without losing tenants•By answering common landlord headaches, you’ll attract leads who already see you as a trusted expert.4.Market to Investors•Many property investors want a one-stop shop—someone who can help them buy, manage, and eventually sell their rental properties.

I wish I could say that I'm venturing into real estate investing for some benevolent purpose like providing low-income housing for the needy... but financial gain is certainly my angle lol.

Interest rates doubled within a six month period of time and property sales almost completely stopped. 

Also, for people who wish to pursue larger real estate ventures, you don't personally need to be able to analyze a deal, and can possibly partner with someone who does or even hire an underwriter.

With your background in the Air Force, MBA, and construction, you're in a great position to launch a real estate venture.

I currently have a majority of my savings invested in the stock market but am looking to diversify into real estate and other ventures to achieve my financial goals.

I also like Haverhill as a peripheral city to Boston - commuter rail stop, close to major highways, and nice downtown with some municipal improvements on the way.PROPERTY OVERVIEW:Unit Mix: (3) 2BR units, (1) 1BR unit, plus parkingRecent Upgrades: New roof, updated electrical panels, new hot water heaterLocation: Walkable to downtown in a well-established neighborhoodParking: Dual driveways provide off-street parking for tenantsRENOVATION SCOPE & COSTS:Limited photos available, but if the rest of the house is in similar condition, likely cosmetic rehab only (~$30K per unit).Potential upgrades include paint, flooring, kitchen cabinets/counters, and appliances.Ideal for a DIY landlord or owner-occupant looking to add value, but also works well for any investor seeking cashflow.MARKET RENTS & INCOME POTENTIAL:Market Rent Estimates (based on local comps):2BR Units: $2,200 - $2,500/month1BR Unit: ~$2,000/monthTotal Potential Rent: ~$8,600/monthCurrently Fully Tenanted:Current rents cover mortgage payment.Would need to manage tenant move-outs before renovations, which could delay the project.Evictions may be necessary if tenants do not leave voluntarily.FINANCIALS & PROJECTED RETURNS:Financing Assumptions:20% down payment, 7% interest rate, 30-year fixed mortgagePrincipal & Interest (P&I): ~$4,524/monthAnnual Expenses (including taxes & insurance): ~$17,000Utility Costs:Heat is not separately metered, leading to higher utility costs (factored into analysis).Projected Cash Flow & Returns:10% cash-on-cash return once stabilized$31K+ annual cash flow5-year total ROI ~95%, factoring in principal paydown and 2% annual appreciation

Are we stopping landlords from acquiring 1-4 unit properties going forward to keep the supply available for owners occupied owners?

Conveniently located in Bryan TX, within walking distance to A&M Bus stop and a short 5 minutes drive to College Station, home to the largest university in the state, Texas A&M.
