Ended up moving my portfolio away from them and its like a breath of fresh air.

I took a deep breath, explained the situation and where i was in the process and the fact that he signed a renewal of an original lease. 

Being able to filter through the info is key....

Impressive Rent-to-Price Ratios: Average rents for 3-bed homes are about $800-$900/month, potentially yielding 12-15% gross returns.Economic Transition: While historically industrial, Bay City is diversifying into healthcare, education, and service sectors.Revitalization Efforts: Downtown redevelopment and community initiatives are breathing new life into the city.Strong Cash Flow Potential: Low property taxes and insurance costs contribute to robust monthly cash flows.Let's crunch some numbers on a hypothetical deal:Purchase Price: $75,000Down Payment (20%): $15,000Mortgage (4.5% interest, 30-year fixed): $304/monthProperty Tax: $100/monthInsurance: $60/monthEstimated Repairs/CapEx: $100/monthProperty Management (10%): $85/monthTotal Monthly Expenses: $649Potential Rent: $850/monthEstimated Monthly Cash Flow: $201Cash-on-Cash Return: About 16.08% (not including appreciation or tax benefits)These are rough estimates, and individual properties will vary.

As stated before, certified mail to the correct address, would be the minimum most courts would accept.If you insist on doing this on your own, take a breath, and re-read what has already been said here.

Having an agent in place to find the best available deals and filter out the bad ones will make the investment process much more efficient regardless of the market you choose.When it comes to choosing a market to invest in, you don't have to look too far.

If it is highly compeitive like my market of Orlando, guests have thousands of homes to choose from, so they will filter differently than someone that is going to Ft.

So in my search rankings, if someone specifically selects "House" they still have to filter through 50+ townhouses and condos that are ranking above me because those owners have selected house in their settings.

In my leases tenants are responsible to pay for their own utilities and change air filters.

Filter properties by geography and “rental yield” and get alerts when new inventory that meets your criteria hits the market.Let us know about any feedback you have and expect iterations on this in the back half of the year and into 2025!
