One of the former managers even stole tenants' money order rent payments, rented to friends and family who didn’t meet the minimum requirements, and managed some owners' properties on the side without authorization.I’ve tried to be patient, waiting for them to get things back on track, but the situation has only worsened.

More landlord friendly, and they appreciate the same as Sacramento.

I add people to my credit cards as authorized users for a fee.

I would also consider "private money" from friends and family for your first deal as well - maybe offer 8-10% simple interest and see if anyone would be interested.

But if you’re looking at structural repairs, that money might not get you back the return you’re hoping for.One of my good friends had a duplex in Phoenix that seemed like a lost cause.

Additionally, there are weekly calls with J&G, coaching calls, bootcamps and events, and an incredible network of fellow students, many of whom have become great friends.

You’re offering people a place to live that’s both budget-friendly and comfortable, which translates to lower vacancy rates.Another key advantage is lower overhead.

I've got two buyers -- one buying a new build A frame in the mountains outside Colorado Springs and the other a new build in STR-friendly Wheat Ridge -- and both intend to do short-term rentals.

Whether you’re focused on residential, commercial, or mixed-use real estate, scalability comes from strategic planning, operational efficiency, and smart use of technology.

Why are you giving your friend a deal on the rent?
