I am still getting 10 calls a day from agents , even as far away as 75 miles .

It does not answer every question (are they under/overcharging, do they have egregious cancellation terms, do they have silly rights to sell your property, do they have two and half pages of ticky tack fees, etc.), but something has to go reasonably right for a PM to have 95% occupancy or greater on a several hundred unit portfolio, in my view.

More than half of my purchase price!

Bet you any amount of money...The problems are:- Do they want half down?

For background, I was thinking of using it for half of an investment in a shorter term syndication that I would aim to pay back before the 0% interest promo expires. 

What I do to decide if I am going to remodel/update the property is pull a list of rentals with in a mile and see what they are renting for un remodeled vs remodeled or partially remodeled to see if it makes sense to put more money into the property.

But the other half of the puzzle is building wealth.

Hi Miles - it looks like you are looking for a local credit union or bank.

There was so much water that we had to use a pump and mini x to get to the shutoff.I am posting this because I want to add some extra emphasis on how important systems and good employees are to your success.I was in Hawaii over three thousand miles away and we were able to get this taken care of without me there and without help outside of our contacts. 

This April half my properties in the Smokies outperformed last year.
