Tenants are happy with low utilities and the apartments WILL command an increased rent because of the lower utilities.

I would ask them what kind of discounts they command because of their market presence.

Finally, I did my research up front and spent a ton of time on VRBO.com and was able to understand that I could break even at the lowest rent for a 2 bd, 1 bath on my 3bd 2.1 bath home as long as I rented for 50% of the time, my mistake was pricing it this way and being booked so far in advance.In closing, while I believe the numbers for the Vacation/Furnished/Corporate rental are great and command much more than unfurnished, when you take into account the up front furnishing costs, you can chew up $500 a month of income for two years easy just to pay back the furnishing cost.

Forget the civilian authorities, if y'all are still in the military go to his chain of command.

To command a better price along this line, the investor will need to know you won't walk on the second and that may take a few deals to gain that rapport.As a note buyer, I will look to the ability of the borrower to pay as agreed and when I get paid off.

In the case of single-family homes (SFH), you might well find that you will command less rent for the house proper if there is a rented accessory apartment in the basement.

Also, I go through a lot of inventory in Michigan area and I can tell you that turnkey properties who have a Section 8 tenant actually command higher market prices.

I'm also lucky that I am prior military so I can tell from his uniform and command pics/medals on social media that he is a squared away guy.

If your going to war, you will want a good leader with combat experience taking command.
