Jon-your walkthru and detailed calculation answers several questions I've had and is very helpful :) Bryan-about $60/mo electricity covers common area (it's on a separate meter), landlord has been splitting water and heat between the 4 units when the bills come in. Take

Not to mention seen over 11% appreciation each with no rehab costs.If you have any interest in taking a look at the Phoenix market, any questions about how to successfully run/ manage a short term rental ( in any city), or just want to pick my brain, feel free to reach out.

-I've only owned the place for a month so I don't know HVAC history...intake filters were pathetically dirty-The place is currently occupied by tenants, their 13 year old son occupies the bedroom upstairs-it's April in north Alabama, not terribly hot but it is upstairs and temperatures are beginning to rise.

@Andrew PostellI'm aware of DFE, but not interested in taking a chance on a low appraisal or having all of my rehab budget sunk into these properties.  

There is a number of fees that add up, as well as the time you have to put in taking you CE classes and meetings with your broker and in house training.

But in taking the course, it seems legally impossible to sell your own home to buyers.

Being completely objective to either of your best interests- If you're both sharing the cost of marketing, you do all the lead intake, information gathering, and negotiation... then your partner finds the buyer, manages the transaction, and funds escrow..

See how comfortable you are with the process and the details, and your progress in taking action. 

I just had an intake call with a client who's 23 and going to do his first house hack.

We're happy to see if there are people interested in taking the lead on this.I thought this might give you a bit of insight into things and possibly help get the ball rolling in one way or another.Thanks
