It seems that less and less people are going in to or even considering trades, and the plight and challenge of finding consistently good contractors will continue to increase.  

If you are consistent and continually mail you will eventually get calls, it takes time though. 

When you buy a business, you have to determine what is the standard multiplier of the business.  

B class properties are 80-130k, you can pretty consistently get 8% rate of returns and with off-market deals almost everything is hitting the 1% rent to value ratio.

My understanding is that rents have grown consistently over the last several years in certain markets (such as Nashua) and there’s a lot of money looking for yield, so unless rents are overcooked or demand for rentals goes down, I don’t really see a change in the near future.Would love to hear about people’s thoughts or talk to anyone who is active in the market and willing to share their experiences.Thanks,Kyle

And I say this specifically because I believe that's an extremely poor landlord practice, don't want you to do it when you become a landlord, and is not consistent with the market.

Staying consistent is the name of the game and I don't want people to get stuck of analysis paralysis Willfrido I see you are in Medford.. so what areas do you plan on investing and how do you plan on financing your first deal?

Hi guys,I have a question about financing...Just considering options... say your wife has a W2 income from her job and you have a W2 income from your own S-Corp(and your business has been around for at least 10 years but with fluctuating W2 income) and then your wife considers taking a break from her W2 income to recover thoroughly from her illness... outside of the W2 income we do have $30k-$40k cashflow from existing rentals.How hard would it be for you to get conventional financing with this scenario (losing a more consistent W2 income - even though her W2 is lower than yours) to finance our SFHs purchases?

"Down payment assistance." consisted of raising the price and telling the people buying the paper that the people put down 20%.b. 

I'd like to rent out the ADU consistently, and also the main house when we're out of the country.
