We can't find the next opportunity, have little economy of scale, so I'm forced to keep our reserves high.

I want to ensure I’m doing this the right way while keeping my finances organized and compliant with any regulations.

Put together a spreadsheet and compare the performance of the subject property if you keep renting it as is for the next 10 or 20 years versus if you rehab and refinance.

Finally, The rent control discourages further development, limiting supply which results in higher rents.So rents go up, but the rent control advocates are too uneducated on the economics of the rent control policy to see their role in the rent increase.Another consequence of rent control is no value in keeping the property as nice.

Understanding your market, what you are offering, and the kind of tenant you can expect to attract and KEEP will help you determine how to screen.

I recently passed my MLO exam and decided to keep my real estate broker license separate from my MLO license, which means my real estate license will not be endorsed.

I am having trouble trying to figure out how I can jump into investing, keep up with my W2, be a good mom/wife, and everything in between.

So, if the seller can’t provide a marketable title, your only recourse is to get the EMD back, and if you don’t close, the seller keeps it."
