You will truly be raising the clock, as each day will cost you very significant money.  12% interest on $250k is $2500/mo, or about $80 per day in interest, not including your other carrying costs (utilities, property taxes, insurance, HOA). 

Looking to understand the job and the day-to-day.

If I have been given proper notice of move out, then generally I prorate the days past the move out date based on the actual monthly rent that month. 

I remember back when I was ramping up my own rental portfolio in those early-2000s San Diego days, I learned the hard way that ignoring “little” costs..like that termite treatment or the property manager’s onboarding fee..can turn what looked like a sweet deal into something that barely breaks even.Let’s say you pick up a property in one of those under-the-radar neighborhoods in Omaha or maybe on the south side of Chicago..markets I’ve seen a few colleagues dabbling in lately..you’ve got to be ready to get real about the numbers.

You'll end up with a dog that you can't unload at the end of the day when you've dumped thousands of dollars into it with no positive return. 

So when I started getting more inquiries on VRBO, I assumed (incorrectly) this was a similar feature until a few days ago.

The only people who succeed at birddogging are the ones who learn everything they can and know it's going to be a low-paid slog so they do the work hard and one day it changes because you have earned more.

I have a ton more to learn and am mostly just here to share your concerns, but after reading a lot of articles I'm shying away from expanding into this territory while he's in office. 

-At the end of the day, if it were me and I was a wholesaler (as opposed to a broker/agent) in this scenario, I would say that "as a courtesy", you can try to help and see if you can sell it to someone else off market, but you should not be expected to do a due diligence for the buyer, that's their responsibility, and you said from the beginning that you are not knowledgeable on land. 

I've been our traveling these past few days.
