@Kaleb JohnsonRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Depending how much of the neighborhood is a hot zone for renting rather buying, and which Property type is performing better than the other (meaning 1bd 1ba 2 floor renting out faster and much more consistently than a 2bd 1ba 1 floor), you can make your choice of those factors as well as other ones that impact your decision for what you wanna do with your investment.

The shorter the prepayment term has an impact on increasing the rate.4.

You can print this one on your computer, no need for the “official” printed forms.W-9 asks them to enter their name, address, and tax ID – which can be a SSN, ITIN (for people who are not permanent residents) or EIN (business tax ID).

As a reminder, listing tenure positively impacts your performance on our marketplace.

And as investors we should know this, but always anticipate higher costs and longer waits.EXAMPLE Breakdown of Costs:Plan Purchase: $1,500Permitting Fees: $2,500-7,500Site Preparation (grading, utilities, foundation): $20,000–$30,000ADUs require separate utility connections for water, electricity, and sewer but you can tap into existing utilities at the primary houseIn Raleigh you CANNOT split lots fee simple, so setting up completely separate utilities would not allow you to section off the ADU as of nowYour ADU must be on a permanent foundation (no wheels, no ability to move the structure)Construction (labor and materials): $100,000–$150,000Low-grade: $150–$180/sq ft averageMid-grade: $180–$220/sq ft averageHigh-end: $220–$250/sq ft averageLandscaping/Finishing Touches: $5,000Total Estimated Cost: $125,000–$200,000You could easily spend $200k+ with super end high finishes, custom designs, complicated sitework, adding a second story or more sqft, etc.

Going after their license is the most impactful thing you can do at this point IMO. 

So you would spend around $25-$30k a month (this was 15 years ago) on police details and require union gate and non union gate if you had non union workforce as well.In DC area, the utility providers are a huge challenge, whether getting permanent power, or water/sewer service etc - good luck.

Property ClassProperties are categorized by class, impacting their quality, condition, and investment profile:Class A: High-end, newly built, prime locations, attractive to institutional investors.Class B: Good quality, older than Class A, with minor deferred maintenance.Class C: Older properties with dated amenities, but value-add opportunities exist.Class D: Distressed properties in less desirable locations with high risks but potential for significant improvement.4.
