We have lots of interest and showings, so we feel our rental rate is right at market.

Quote from @Serena Lemmons: Hi All, I have been researching real estate investing for a while and feel like the next step is to meet some investors in the area that I can learn from.

While it can feel like a hassle, these inspections help prevent bigger (and costlier) problems down the line.

Amortize your major repairs (roof, hvac, built in appliances) and add an estimate for small maintenance.This feels not terrible to me.

Also people like to feel more important by having LLC or trusts to hide their identity.

I had a similar nightmare working with Jenny Yi, and I feel compelled to share my experience too, so others don’t go through the same thing.From the beginning, communication was a huge issue.

@Matthew McCarty At the beginning of my investing career, I was constantly looking at websites like Zillow and Redfin to see what houses are selling for so that I have a good feeling on the market I picked.

The problem (as you have cited) is trying to understand what you need (you don't know what you don't know), where to get it, qualifying its source(s), and the validity and usefulness of all that.Pardon me if I've gone into this too much, but I meet many people with the same concerns that you are voicing and this is offered, as much as possible in direct response to your post.Please feel free to contact me if you have any comments or questions. 

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed at first, but just take it one step at a time.
