It is beautiful and in a prime location but earning anything will be slow going.   

I currently own 13 units and have had my share of stressful moments but over time building experience and connecting with those who have been through what your going through is very valuable.

That means if you've got a manager that charges you $100 to make one-off visits to change a light switch cover, authorizes repairs beyond what your contract says, and so on, you need to be cognizant of perhaps finding another manager.The whole beauty of having a PM is not having to do it yourself.

The current bathroom is raised up and I am wanting to have the contractor drill into the ground which will be more expensive but at the moment my head is almost touching the ceiling.

We have everything done except PGE is taking forever to do the meter hook up (no schedule at the moment).

Normally (prior to the Corona age) the annual expected return was over 10% (net) and the average appreciation around 6% annually.Taking into consideration that the time to complete a project is between 1-3 years (depends on the size) and my strategy at the moment is to develop the project and to cash out, I am not sure that offering a preferred investment is possible unless I am using my own capital to finance interest distribution.Actually, I am exploring 1.

I used market leader when I first started - I still have the site just not paying for leads at the moment- and it paid for itself plus about one transaction.

Congrats - beautiful picture/interior

I went to a house once needing management and found a beautifully decorated home owned by out of state investors who bought it based on the photos only.

You can build up goodwill sending grocery cards at Christmas, having a mini fridge to rush over the moment there is a problem, giving rent credits, etc. and it will mean LESS THAN ZERO as soon as you have a late fee you expect them to pay, a pet that you cannot approve, anytime the rent goes up, telling them they can't paint the walls and ceiling the color they want... then you are the scumbag landlord.
