The first apartments I rented as the owner, were previously rented by the former owner at $150 month including utilities. 

I’m about to tell you about a deal that could have easily fallen apart, but instead turned into a $200k profit after a lengthy eviction process.

Quote from @Destiney E Goins: Hello, I am new to investing, and feel like I have been blindly stumbling through this experience the last few months.

While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.

Having a group of friends living in an apartment complex creates a sense of community and reduces turnover.

It's impossible for them to hit the third close date and it's not likely they could hit any close date so they back out.I am feeling as if I was mislead. 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about Birmingham.

(I personally prefer $2M/year and I think that cash flow is plenty enough to cover any mortgage risk along the way, but there's no doubt some people would feel more comfortable sticking to the $24,000/year and that's totally cool too!)

My second house was under contract before it was even listed, but the combination of my GC disappearing and having to restart the permitting process for the carport in March right at the start of Corona lock downs dragged that out and eventually feel out of contract.

So when I see an advertisement like this I feel like it would be a waste of my time and money, but perhaps interesting for others.
