Hey everyone,I am curious how different property managers handle maintenance requests.

This property was in terrible condition, however will a little vision and hard work it paid off.

Quote from @Noah Davis: Hi Everyone,I am looking to buy 10 investment properties this year.

I have another property from a family friend that is being sold  for 150k, and the estimated value is 340k. 21 acre road front property w 3/2 bath.

Take FL for example, of which I analyze dozens of properties weekly. 

Quote from @Marc Zak: In the market where I live (San Diego), appreciation has been strong and many predict it will continue to appreciate in the long term.However, with current interest rates (6% at best) and property tax (2%), the annual cost burden is 8%.Am I correct in saying that appreciation has to be above 8% annually (plus whatever my maintenance and vacancy costs are) for me to make any money in this scenario if the property is cash flow neutral?

Yesterday I went in to the local city clerks office to request a list of properties with code violations.

Even this is an incomplete list.Worst of all, the main reason not to make this loan is that you will not hold a first position-lien against the property.

Does anyone have experience with buying rental or STR property there or have a connection there that I could speak to? 

Hi BP Members,I shortlisted one RE property with $350K purchase price and with good long term tenant income ($4400 PM current).
