To that end, I'll suggest the following books and give my label of where they sit between visionary/detail :Best Ever Apartment Syndication Book -Joe Fairless- Detailed and worth keeping for reference.Raising Capital for Real Estate - Hunter Thompson - Detailed and worth keeping for reference.Hands-Off Investor - Brian Burke - Detailed and worth keeping for reference.It's a Whole New Business - Gene Trowbridge - Very detailed.

A big fat 0 in housing expenses.

I am also going to a Gene Towebridge crowd funding syndication seminar in Vegas next week and hoping to get some advice from people there as well.

Quote from @Gene Hacker: Check out the events page on bigger pockets and meetup.com and go to any local real estate investing meetup that is not in a bar.  

I've met with many landlords who have been enjoying big fat cash flows for 20+ years from that town.

What services would you like to see in your unit; new paint, carpet, washer dryer, cable, security, new doors, windows, out side lights, alarmLet them know you want to improve the apartmentsNegotiate with the tenants, agree on a rent increase to cover the up-gradesAs a bonus, agree not to increase their rent for another 2 yearsA gift of a fat turkeys for the holidaysAn end of year bonus for paying on timeA gift certificate for something they may like I consider a tenant a customer, take good care of them and you'll find you will get your rent as agreed.Remember "late charges" increases your net also.Be kind and understanding when tenants don't pay on time, listen to their excuses or problems, you may be able to help them.Tenants are just like us, we all have problems at times, a little leverage, understanding and kindness goes a long way.......they won't forget you.When we have tenants with financial problems I consul with them, we talk about how to earn extra money (that is usually what the problem is...lack of money).I suggest different ways they can earn money without a job; if your tenant is handy; painting, plumbing, roofing, fixing cars, teaching a course, bookkeeping.

Hi Gene, it is very hard to get financing on a doublewide.

Santosh,Look up @Gene Hacker on this site.  

Just because he collected millions and charged hefty fees , his investors did nt automatically get big fat checksI came across and saw lot of hard working contractors , who are open minded , reasonable , big picture oriented , affordable and make lot of money . 

We rent homes for an average of $700 a month -  that’s a fat $70 a month for the PM.
