Sometimes i believe im a victim or perfect example of Nietzsches -"The lonely one offers his hand too quickly towhomever he encounters."

They may or may not offer services to help you resolve those issues. 5.

I have four units just like this and have a decorative fireplace is not an issue, at least in my area.It is quite standard in rentals to not offer a working fireplace for cost and liability issues. 

Happy to talk further on the area (we are large enough to offer options to focus on student rentals/UW Madison campus, and anything from Class C to A locations or suburban/surrounding communities) but to help you consider broad initial search, you could start by deciding how important cash flow is. 

Cruz seems to focus more on seller financing which seems to be limited as a lot of sellers don’t offer this.  90 day rental road map focuses on private funding with exclusive lenders for their students that will fund 100 percent of the deals.  

That said, it could be a good choice if you’re capital constrained and need to recycle equity from deal to deal.However, if you have capital to deploy and want to take a more hands-off approach, targeting a turnkey, rent-ready offering could be a better approach for your first deal.Full disclosure: I own rentals and operate a turnkey provider in Tuscaloosa—let me know if there are any questions I can answer for you!

Most likely you will need to factor this into your purchase price when making offers.

If you are looking for property in San Diego that is going to have good initial cash flow, you are going to either have to identify an obscure value add or expect to spend a lot of time and effort to find good off market purchase (most off market offers are not great). 

And that may sound undoable but those deals are out there on mls if you make enough offers.  

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!
