I am small still so don't want to spend a fortune but am happy to pay for this service.

I've been fortunate that I haven't lost money lending through my retirement accounts....yet......but I have lost money lending outside of it.The more lending you do, the more likely it is that someone will not pay you back so just be prepared for that.

Lower or flat-ish rents for sure.Evictions, fortunately, I own in very good areas.

(doubt this is accurate)Regardless0.02% of 500,000,000 = 100,000 people are successfulSo you see ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND success stories, people holding up checks, bragging about how many Lambos they buy... but what you will never see are the rest of the 499,900,000 people quietly crying in the fetal position on the floor that lost a fortune trying those tactics.You don't hear from them, you don't see them and you only see extremely incomplete data.Again,I would stop telling others it is a numbers game.

I’m here to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals who can help guide me along the way.I’ve been fortunate to build great networks so far, but I know there’s so much more to discover in the beautiful world of real estate.

Fortunately, they have acquired a house, and now we can rent the first floor at market price.

Fortunately ours was not red tagged but both times had heavy damage (but less than most properties).  

Fortunately, we were able to save them.- Sectio 8 also requires taxes be current.3) Insurance: we require an owner to add us to their policy for liability protection.- Have discovered owners with lapsed ploicies they thought previous PMC was handling.- Also found terrible policies that owners had, that they didn't understand.4) Utilities: We check that all utilities are properly set up and cofirm or enroll in any Auto-Transfer of Service programs to avoid no heat during winter leading to frozen pipes.- Dealing with a very upset new owner client right now that previous PMC didn't handle the water account properly.

I've fortunately never had to evict in Alexandria city - but it is eye opening to read about the city's attempts to keep a non-paying tenant in your property.

Would have cost me a fortune!
