Thanks in advance, look forward to being a part of the BiggerPockets community.

I need long-term renters as a back up.I saw a basement apartment for rent in LauriaVille in a gorgeous remodeled home that’s been listed for $1050  It’s been sitting there a couple months and that concerns me because that’s not a lot of money for quite a bit of space in a great house.It’s been sitting there a couple months and that concerns me because that’s not a lot of money.

I was recently sent details about a 20-unit apartment complex that I’m interested in, but the seller's asking price doesn’t align with the numbers I’ve run.

I bought 2 multi-family apartment buildings and plan to purchase another this year. 

That 2nd floor unit I would like to divided into 2 apartments.

The only exception is for on-site managers, like you'd find living in one unit of an apartment building and managing the building on behalf of the owner.

The first apartments I rented as the owner, were previously rented by the former owner at $150 month including utilities. 

Most have their own company's now and stay a part of the community to leverage each other.  

Developers have been on a building rampage for the last 5 years, so we've got brand new apartments sitting vacant and properties less than 50% full in many areas of town. 

They agreed to pay in accordance to the lease and failure to manage to the lease is the #1 reason why landlords fail (Source: American Apartment Owners Assn).Cowboy up and stop having the tenant control your ROI.Best.
