@JD Gunter I agree and should add that I spend 2-10 hours on the phone/zoom with each applicant before I let them into the program. 

@Luis Cerwin as others have stated, Nov - Jan is the worst time of year to have a vacancy.Majority of tenants live paycheck-to-paycheck, so all their income goes to Holiday spending starting with Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then xmas, then NYE.January is also historically the worst month for rent payments due to Holiday Hangover Spending.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Or you can look at transactional funding, but you'd likely spend more on marketing as the need for double closings are less than fix and flip deals.Again, all the best to you on your journey!

Maybe he's already charging above-market rates and needs to adjust expectations.I don't see the justification for spending $12,000 to install electric baseboard in four apartments.

@Patrick Braswell Got it. just didn't want you to spend all the time working with your family members if the bank won't approve a HEL.

I started with Podio (Premium) and already I am seeing it's limits without having to spend a lot of time customizing it or hiring someone to do it or even paying a monthly fee to some third party.

I also claim that the price and rent indicate it will not appreciate or have rent growth significantly better than inflation.I could not live on 100 of these (I admit to spending a lot of money). 

Most will have large scale marketing engines where they spend thousands or tens of thousands a month, and operate or license time in call centers.
