She runs the facility and pays my Rental Company $1,200 a month because of the money we laid down for it.)In addition, I add $1,500 of my own money to the pot every month, which is a grand total of $4,455 a month in cash flow every month.

At the end of the day, Atlanta is a giant melting pot with many different neighborhoods.

I would recommend discussing it with your agent to get an idea of some of the things that might make a property hard to insure such as:- knob & tube or aluminum wiring- cracked/pot holed driveways or walkways- stairs without hand rails- not having two means of egress from all units- Lead paint- tenants with aggressive dogs such as pit bulls and Rottweilers.- Business exposure (garage rented to businessThe above do not make it impossible to get insurance but they will lessen the markets willing to write the coverage.

Nobody will ever care as much as the owner does.To expect the property manager to in my opinion is unrealistic.If they are making checks off of sales or other residuals then yes the pot has been sweetened.If you have a newer or updated property that has an ideal tenant and the rent is high and in a nice area then yes management is not that hard.Many investors however want to buy these little dumper houses in suspect areas that cash flow well.These properties usually have deferred maintenance,a bunch of drama,and high turnover.These types of tenants income is usually erradic working multiple jobs or pooling with other people with jobs combined to pay the rent.
