Hey guys, who knows a handyman or a tile guy in Northeast Minneapolis (or at least someone willing to travel to Northeast Minneapolis) that they wouldn't mind referring to me to do some work in my bathroom?

So far I have 1099, Advertising & Marketing, bank charges & Fees, Capital Expenses (for remodels) Car & Truck, Contractor, depreciation, donations, Employee benefits, insurance, interest paid, inventory assets, job supplies, legal &professional services, loans/points, meals & entertainment, office expenses, Rent & lease, repairs & maintenance, salaries & wages, taxes & licenses travel, utilities.

I have a local property manager, but I still travel there frequently to do work on the homes myself.

Our ultimate goal to retire early and be able to spend time traveling with my family.I look forward to meeting and connecting with more of you in the BP family!!  

I run a "rental arbitrage" business whereby I rent homes/apartments from homeowners in the San Francisco Bay Area, then furnish them and rent them out as 30+ day rentals to business travelers and make money (hopefully) on the spread.

This is due to students graduating, traveling, or bad roommate situations.

Hello everyone,I am very new to the concept of RE investing and am learning a lot from the podcasts and info on this site.My wife and I are considering selling our home and buying an RV to travel the US in search of a better place to live.

(Current rent is 950--market rent is 1400; I will do a renovation (20-25k) and rent to corporate tenants (e.g. travel nurses) for 2200-2500).     

I can't see the reason to go else where to make 1% or 2% greater return.. you would eat that up in travel costs alone.But anyway.. in my mind we are getting to a balance market.. and your correct rents are not keeping up with costs.. so will be interesting to see how it all shakes out in the years to come.I remember when I started in the business if you put 20% down or 25% down and the tenant just paid off your house  forget about cash flow that was a huge win..and why not.. its a forced savings safe investment tax benefits.. etc.. then it became you have to make money on your down payment this is what created that run..Maybe we will step back in time and break even will be great..

Look up Lloyd segal and see if it worth traveling to take his weekend boot camp.
