They are a bad deal for homeowners and a terrible deal for rentals. 

Market selection is tough because there are so many choices.

Later I was able to buy the vacant lot between for a grand total of about 2.4 acres.All the houses are in bad shape.

Over the past 15+ years in this business, i have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. 

Going through my real estate journey I have learned a lot, I am 24, a veteran and a graduate from Temple University,I started with aspirations of investing on a property and making a quick flip.My problem lied with fear of failing, my capital and my savings.I decided I wanted to learn the real estate market and know the ins and outs before I would make a bold choice on buying my first real estate home.

If you're eligible, a VA loan is your best choice since it requires $0 down, no PMI, and allows multi-family properties.

I could not give a good or bad report.

What REALLY happens when a PM get paid % of rents, for incentive, is the PM is more incentivized to keep BAD tenants in place who are paying.

Quote from @James Hampton: That's a bad practice to follow.If an occupant is not named on the lease, you may have difficulty enforcing rules or evicting them.

I or a partner have done at least two of his boot-camps over the years, including his land & commercial property which helped us buy our first three land joint ventures-with-the-sellers a few years ago – never has there been subsequent illegal charges, but I do read thoroughly the agreements and immediately notate in my day-timer the required termination date for any company’s teaser or rebate.Again, I empathize with those who had bad experiences with any company’s or guru’s teasers, but I’d suggest rather than avoiding teasers and rebates, take advantage of them!
