I have three properties in AR now, and as of about four months ago, two of them were vacant despite having two-year contracts on the properties.

As a contractor and cabinet maker it made much more sense financially to purchase a home with a rental unit and manage the property myself.

Focus on location: Look for properties near colleges or hospitals—they tend to bring consistent, reliable renters. 2.

By focusing on cost-effective improvements, investors can significantly enhance property value.By first Identifying which renovations offer the highest ROI—typically kitchens, bathrooms, and curb appeal. 

Utilized a low down payment loan, maxed seller credit, tax proration and closed on the 1st of the month to maximize my cash and acquire this property What was the outcome?

I came across this brand new property, in a great intersection that’s leased out to LazyDog restaurant & running well.

Do the math and see if an ADU is worth the cost and effort.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/rental-property-cash-flow... 

Essentially, worst case, how many months can you carry the property?

@Brett K. we manage in Class C areas, so have to deal with this a lot.Options:1) Boardup - pretty useless as easy to rip the off and advertises the property as vacant.2) Armor Guard door frame reinforcement with temp double-key deadbolts.

I'm wondering if you can help advise on this situation.My mother currently resides in a property located in Los Angeles County.
