We have had our units on RentRedi for three months and have had the same experience described above. 

As of August 17th, 2024, gone are the days that any Realtor can meet you at a property and show you one-offs. 

A professional manager can find qualified tenants who respect your home and handle day-to-day issues.

I'm sure it's a little more efficient in larger cities, but my market requires up to 60 days to get approval.Lower your expectations with Section 8 tenants.

Who knows, maybe there is a state that can parallel the great weather in California, the five-star restaurants in Napa Valley, the geographical diversity, the rich ethnic influences, the skiing and surfing all in the same day and somehow, have no homeless people.

Now taht real estate has gone back to the good ole days of not being an appreciation machine and a good investor needs sound fundamentals in managing and overseeing the properties - now you are given the wave of "creative finance" which comes off as its easy to get a home but it will be interesting to see how these people are fairing in a few years of mismanagement of these assets. 

If the partner moves out of state next year they are still a 10% owner, but you simply hire another property manager for that same 8-10%.

The same goes for your credit score, which tells us nothing about your ability to flip a house and pay us back.In sum: Experience, Integrity, a Killer deal.

There’s no chance I would trade my 10 well performing homes for 50 or 100 homes to get the same income before the increased taxes and repairs/vacancies, etc etc. 

I work 11-12 hour shifts, five days a week, in a demanding role, leaving me with little free time.
