I most likely would have gone that route if I wasn't able to find a property I liked (or will go that route if this deal falls through).

Some maps show that West Hill doesn't exist, but the characteristics of that neighborhood, whether it was combined with Highland Square or not, still remain.So, if the property falls into one of those neighborhoods, you may have room for a rent increase; however, if it does not, You might be looking at 400-425.

There shouldn't be that many using the service if you pre-screen well -- I rent to the first tenant that fits my criteria, so I don't have a ton of fall-through.I do also think that checking their social media profiles and check their references as part of the application process is a good idea, as well.

Make sure you don't fall down the hole of trying to learn everything there is to know about notes indefinitely.

Only getting about $850 for those leased just last fall.

If they leave windows open or back entrances unlocked, thermostats turned way up when testing the heat, Fridges/freezers not closed all the way, Bring in 4 kids who are running around and knocking holes in walls and tripping down steps (that they later blame on a piece of pulled up carpet) it all falls on your dime. 

Earlier this fall I purchased my first investment property with a partner @Josh McQueen, a 3-2 single family near Ft.

If they have a bad model and it does not align with yours then it falls on you to address it and fix it or remove them from your compny.

Then it became apparent the irrigation nozzles were routinely spraying water against my house and subsequently that this water was getting in - carpets were damp coming through from padding below.After checking pipes etc with a couple plumbers who found nothing wrong with any pipes in summer and fall 2017 ...

If I do end up going with a 3.5% FHA, my plan would be to refinance at the year point and ideally have the PMI fall off and cash flow more.
