My son looked at homes that I chose with a realtor that I found on BP.

My tenant of 1 year just moved out recently (work transfer), but during the move-out inspection we found that one of the 10X10 bedroom has all four side of the wall covered in screw holes from the time they used it as a computer room (I believe the holes were from the sound deadening foam that they used to attach to the wall) So I was wondering what would seem to be a fairly reasonable cost to be deducted from their Security Deposit for the excessive holes and needing to repaint.

I started BRRR several years ago and found that I love it, and I am wanting to jump in with both feet.

Are there specific ways to build trust or present the proposal that you’ve found particularly effective?

After 21 years of living in the United States, I have finally found the American dream that everyone kept talking about.

But one of the best resources I've found is just reading, and listening to, as many books on the subject as I could find to really help deepen my knowledge and expertise.I actually just started listing to audio books over the last year or so and found a great app called Libby, that you can download for free through the Cleveland Public Library system and there's tons of great audiobooks on real estate and investing that I listen to when I'm driving and has helped me a lot!  

I found someone local who is willing to handle property management (for 20%), but it feels like a waste if I'm already handling the listings and automation and integrations to run the business.

Impossible to tell which would benefit you most.I have found that lenders value the house in different ways; one is a full appraisal and the other is an automatic valuation…my credit union did a “drive by” valuation.  

However, I have found that in Seattle, most investors stay away due to the stringent renting laws and the high cost of real estate.

Hello,I have a preapproval for 3% down payment conventional loan, as I own no property.Haven't found a house I like, I wanna be patient looking for my to live-in house, but I still wanna get a rental property where income covers all costs while looking for my own house.My question is, can I get a normal 20% down conventional loan for the rental, and then later I get a conventional 3% down loan for my house?
