I always think about it this way, if you are buying cheap houses it is because people don't want them and don't want to live in that location.

Jessica-Where is the property located?

The most basic step is to ensure that our form is in a highly visible, easy-to-access location where visitors can simply fill in their name, email, phone number, and property address.It’s honestly ridiculous that the BBB accreditation is ABOVE the form where the lead should input their details for your acquisition agent to contact them!

Determine which units need work done to get them up to market rent, which tenants may be a future problem, and which units you can simply increase rents without major upgrades.Depending on where you are located, the size of the unit, etc. you may be able to get up to $1,800/month in Bridgeport for a 2-bedroom.

You can see big differences between similar houses based on location, even within the same city, and quality or the property. 

I can help you out as I know the area very well, but need a bit more specific info and a narrower geographic location. 

My 2 cents,MikeIt's a poorly decorated, poorly photographed and underperforming STR in a location I love.

This can be different based on your location.

I mostly bought properties near where my own home was located in south Jackson.

Based on the 1% rule, this doesn’t seem to make sense.However, the city and area we live in retain property value because of the schools, community, and location.
