@Josh Bast This topic is covered and detailed in current orders in place, I suggest reading and re-reading it until have solid command of the "rules" we have to operate under. 

I am a KW agent so I then upload the DNC scrubbed list into Command(that is our CRM) and use Twilio which we have connected to Command to send an auto text campaign to the leads. 

You might be able to command a premium to offset that, but the question is - will it be enough?

However, throughout many different areas of Miami, there are a lot of older, tired landlords and property managers that are either too lazy, too comfortable, or not aware of the high rents the Miami markets are commanding.

@Ody OradI am a real estate agent and investor in Houston, TX.Katy, Cypress, Spring, some parts of Houston, Conroe, Tomball, Pearland are great markets.These cities tend to command quality tenants, and they have great schools.Get in touch with a local agent or investor and shorten your learning curve and save you a lot of headaches as they tend to understand the market better.All the best!

These cities tend to command qualitytenants and they have great schools.Good luck!

@Cody DastrupI would highly recommend Houston, Texas, as rental income growth and appreciation here are steady.Surrounding areas such as Katy, Cypress, Conroe, Tomball, and Pearland are great places to own rentals.These cities tend to command quality tenants and they have great schools.Also to grow your real estate investment business you must have a great team of real estate professionals like agents, lenders, contractors etc.Good luck!

A well-maintained property in a desirable location can often command higher rents, even in the Section 8 program.4.

If you are going to rent it out and live upstairs you'll want to finish any unfinished areas to command higher rent.Assess the cost and extent of work needed to transform unfinished areas into a livable space.This is where using an experienced realtor to help you ballpark is important.

BTW, I think it is well known now (aka big dog commander in chief) that you can make billions and (legally) pay no US tax with tax advantaged investments.
