Waco is a great rental market because there are so many blue collar jobs that provide consistent demand for housing (I have heard that 80% of homes in Waco-proper are non owner occupied) but there is a lack of white collar jobs that would keep Baylor graduates here or bring working professionals from Austin/Dallas. 

Of course, have a professional inspection done that enters each unit and do a sewerscope.

I'm happy to help connect you with professional and helpful agents or property managers from Pensacola to Panama City!

That being said, here’s what I would recommend for a thorough DD process:-Build a plan in advance (setup a spreadsheet, meet with the team, etc)-be prepared to take a lot of pictures -document notes with each room (we use notes on Apple and share it with the team)-align the team on standardizing information (example: what does “bad” mean, what does “okay” mean, etc - everyone looks at things differently and you want to make sure the notes are accurate during your debrief)-bring in professionals for things you can see, like sewer lines hope this short list helps! 

If you are building to sell and your profit margins are higher for the larger units, that may be a good argument for building bigger.My rentals are in central and east Phoenix, so we have a lot of young professionals and small families we rent to. 

For me, I wanted to portray my real estate investments as more professional and that was the main reason I switched to using landlord software for rent collections. 

This post is directed toward professionals who know real estate in and out.

It’s a reason some people call it the professional drug game....With that being said.

Off-market deals are the best way to secure a low purchase price, however, finding off-market deals can take some persistence (and luck) Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

You always hire professional cleaners if it's an old person's home and construction cleaners if it's a disaster area.
