Hi Jasmine-Congratulations on being ready to turn your primary residence into a rental.Your question is should you use a property manager or self-manage your property.If there is enough positive cashflow or you can afford to pay a property manager, I always recommend doing so for the following reasons:1.

Hello all who read!I

In our student houses we use a programmable thermostat, but our building monitoring system has its own sensors and can override the wall thermostat and will not allow the temperature to get below 10C (50F) ... we are presently testing a new software load that will also prevent them from cooling the house too far in the summer.

We're in the process of building a small cabin and Minoan has been landing in my email a lot lately. 

I’m excited to share that I now have a tenant ready to move in on February 1st.

They also have calculators to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

I'm currently planning to purchase a commercial multifamily building in Chicago with the proceeds of a 1031 exchange.

That's why most apartment buildings include water in the rent.

But success depends on choosing the right cities and building an experienced and reliable local team.

The problem is that it take far more effort to LIVE that dream that it is to wake up from that Dream.I teach Real Estate Investing on the side and I will tell you 95% of the students are sitting in class dreaming or pretending that they are improving their lives just by attending the class.In the end, they don't really study.I give a Spreadsheet exam at the end of a 12 week / 1 class per week session on building a 10 Year Pro-Forma business plan for your Real Estate and I will tell you 95% fail out right.Being in class is more about dreaming than it is about putting in the effort to learn the skills to be an Investor.
