Buyers should always do an inspection; it's a requirement in my private client firm. 

Louis market:•How strong is the demand for Section 8 housing in the area?

Hello All, I have a client asking if they could buy a portfolio of 5 properties (at a "packaged deal" rate) and sell off two of them to recoup some of the initial down money needed to buy them. 

As you develop the park I would strongly recommend your homes be individually metered for water, sewer expense prorated and garbage paid by tenants via individual can service. 

This allows entry without a key, and allows me to change the lock as needed if I don't want someone in there.As an agent, I provide contacts to my clients who will do these things, and occasionally I will do favors for past clients who need someone to open the door or quickly supervise an appointment; of course not all agents will do this or for free.  

@Lauren MerendinoI strongly believe that your chosen market should be somewhere that you can go to in person / have strong personal knowledge of / have family or a network in already.  

I, my clients, my PM, have never had issues with it You are not clear with insurance companies by hiding it.

However, be mindful of the Section 461 business loss limitation, which could restrict your ability to deduct excess losses in a given year, depending on how your rentals are reported.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Because it takes repetition for people to remember things and you have to be top-of-mind when they encounter a potential client for you!

They claim that their clients are seeing a large return on their investment but would love to hear from somoene who has actually worked with them.
