I sold my one house that had been section 8 last year, and my tenant had improved her income, so she hadn't been sec 8 for about a year before that.

I've made it my mission to share my experience with as many real estate investors, home improvement contractors, and homeowners in the Greater Pittsburgh area as possible.I wanted to give you a heads-up about my experience with Affordable Dumpster Rental.

@Shawn D AugustiBy start up costs if you mean repairs or improvements done to the property before it's placed into service, those expenses are added to your cost basis and depreciated.

Also, you still can improve how they look, blur anything on them, etc.

It can also be a positive factor - possibly an improved infrastructure as it may bring better roads, parks and retail options.

The right team will do everything possible to right the ship in the storm - which we faced last year.Timing the market is never a good idea, but personally, I see it as a much improved time to buy, as pricing is down, some sales are distressed and sold at a discount, and interest rates appear to be heading in the right direction.

We basically execute a form of the BRRRR strategy by targeting communities that require significant renovations or improved management to bring them back to profitability and then we are able to use the increased equity when we exercise the option. 

Advertising channels etc.We mainly specialize in the management of villas and offer additional services to improve the hospitality experience for guests.Any ideas will be more than welcome !

I've seen a lot of conflicting advice that cautions to avoid areas with high crime rates due to complications and extra costs from the tenant base and property crime.I understand that both cities have shown crime rate improvements, but their overall rates are still way above average.What makes these cities attractive for investment despite this?

Buy price, included a soil evaluation, drone pics and getting an improvement permit for my end buyer.
