I've been through 4 PM's and they all have the same problems.1. the managers have WAY too many properties assigned to them so they are always in triage mode and the other stuff (like finding tenants, communicating with landlords, collecting rent, and everything else you pay them for) falls to the wayside. 2. most PM's have never owned a property. now, I know this is hard to ask for from all PM's but if you're a small investor like I am then I think it's imperative to have a PM on your side the really knows the market, and what's at stake. 

Does anyone have a pulse of the rental market in Twin Falls, ID?

Cooler air wants to fall downstairs because it's more dense.

These properties are located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in a C neighborhood and finding a renter in the late-fall, early-winter months could be difficult.

Minh and I fall in the camp that believes that although making investments in bay area and making sense out of those is hard but once you figure that out - the results are much superior than any other typically available options.   

I just flew in from Sioux Falls SD, staying down here for a month or so, looking for deals or network, anyone from Florida west palm beach area, I'm hopping someone knows of a meet up or something.

Each city is seeing a fall in revenue from the taxes from hotels so they are doing everything they can to get that money back.

A landlord would be crazy to sign a 5 year lease with rent below market (even sign any sort of 5 year lease) and no tenant in their right mind will pay above market rent ($1000 for a $700 unit).Realistically the tenant population is too well educated to fall for the sub lease rent scam.

Most of the turnkey B properties around Birmingham will fall in the $65-75K range.- Dave

Househacking is a term coined from @Brandon Turner, and its probably the best idea ever for new investors willing to get ahead instead of falling deeper into a labor paid mortgage/debt with no real return.
