I have a question and would really appreciate your input.I’ve done a couple of fix-and-flip projects in the past using hard money lenders, but I’ve noticed that their fees and interest rates significantly cut into my profits.

Quote from @Nitesh Chand: This is a question your property manager or realtor should be able to answer for you.Since the tenants have occupied for less than a year, I believe you have to give 60 days notice to the tenant before you can list the property.

On paper the cheap houses look great, but the reality is they are harder to manage, have higher turn over and cost a lot more time and money.Buying before you retire is a good idea because once you retire, your ability to borrow money is going to decrease as you don't have a regular income from a job.As you want to fix houses up, why not buy a house that needs a bit of work, live in it while doing the renos and then move when you sell it. 

I’ve noticed this a lot being in property management.

YoY is up 3.5%.Rentals - Availability by MonthThe number of homes for rent decreased MoM, also bucking the seasonal trend.Rentals - Median Time to RentMedian time to rent increased in November to 30 days.

I've noticed properties that are 2 bedrooms or less tend to perform better on this platform. 

Both are excellent platforms which save people immense amount of work and tme by compiling all the critical data you need in 1 place but there leads are way behind the county recorders/courts/notices i.e the source of most motivated seller leads.

Anything less that 5 years is very risky unless you have cash available to buy the property on a moment's notice. 

Dogbarking: Neighbor complaints of constant dog barking or aggressivebehaviors will result in a notice and possible lease termination.

But seriously, I don't know how a person doesn't notice it at countless highway sides in the bushes, underpasses, here there n all over.
