Watch it for a while, track listings, see what sells and what doesnt, what areas move quickly, etc.

The higher credit is attractive, but what if the couple's income is 3.2x the monthly rent and the single woman makes 6x the rent?

I'd love to hear others' opinions on this but I am a fan of making the house as attractive as you can to a potential buyer, even if that adds cost. 

Hi @Jaycee , thanks so much for responding so quickly!

Expenses do not take a break so until you have no expenses taking breaks should be quick and infrequent. 

A prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

@Kyle Carter just because a building has all section 8 tenants doesn’t necessarily mean that the cap rate will be higher on exit but it might attract a buyer(s) that are focused cashflow and not appreciation; therefore a lower price to juice the yield.One of my non negotiables if I were you would be to only buy in an area that is desirable.  

So at this point given the large amount of income that the wealth management company kicks off, this very nice profit from the real estate portfolio is looking less and less attractive every year especially considering the time and mental real estate it takes up for her and the tax consequences.

Even if you personally have just a modicum of design aesthetic sensibility, after reviewing 20 or 30 properties, you will quickly be able to get a sense of the winners.My 2 cents,Mike

Sadly, on BiggerPockets, some are quick to label companies as scams without real experience.
