@Myles Cardenas $700 for a 2/1 is a little above average.

Weekly mowing in growing season, monthly mowing in winter + fall cleanup averaged out to be almost $300/mo for us.

An average 3bed/2bath should be renting for $3,000 or more today.

I am not getting paid, or any perks to write my opinion on their services.First of all I will say the average investor that is just getting into investing should not worry so much about asset protection, their goal should education and effort into their business.

Real estate investing is a forgiving world; the average person can still make money even with some big mistakes.

If you're not a W-2 employee or have additional income you can try an alternative income verification such as bank statement deposit averages or asset depletion (if you have significant reserves or assets.) 

I've heard that looking at the average cost per acre versus the cost of the property can be a good indicator of whether you want to invest in repairs versus teardown.

In those cases, they also succeeded in providing below-average returns, similar to investing in stocks.

Everyone wants "a good deal," as if everyone gets to have a better-than-average investment.

The biggest pitfall is when a landlord tries to be "nice" - non-paying tenants are literally stealing from you, treat them like the criminals that they are.To calculate reserves for vacancy costs We average about 2-3% vacancy across our portfolio, I use 5% as the number for reserves.
