@Thomas FarrellRecommend 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?

How much you pay is NOT relevant by any means on the quality of property management.

“Few regions can match our economy, professional opportunities, affordability, location, and quality of life,” researchers said in a statement.Here are some of the highlights from findings.Growth projections in the Charlotte regionGrowth continues in MecklenburgMecklenburg County is currently home to 1.2 million people.

Hi David Oh-You asked about a profit sharing bonus for property managers to give them an ownership mindset and incentivize them to align with your goals for quality property management.I love this idea.While I do not have a formal profit sharing plan, I always like to recognize the property management company with gift cards to the operators and the people within the property management company I have regular contact with that help keep the property running well and keeping costs down.Related to this, a handwritten thank you card to the same people periodically goes a long way.I also like to do the same for the tenants that have been paying rent on time.To your success!

.• Creative Financing: Keep an open mind to creative financing strategies; sometimes thinking outside the traditional box can reveal opportunities others might overlook.On a related note, I help investors streamline their operations by generating quality leads and assisting with VA hiring, which might be useful as you build your team and network in the area.Looking forward to seeing your progress and sharing insights along the way.

Additionally, in Co-Living the property manager walks the property once per month to deliver toilet paper & cleaning supplies (aka property inspection).

Similarly, quality dividend-paying companies often retain some earnings to reinvest in their business, increasing the company's (and your) value over time.

Using 50% rule (expenses excluding P&i is 50% of rent) here are the numbers;1800 (rent) - $900 (expenses) - 1468 (heloc) = negative $568/monthAt your rent point with that size unit, your expenses will ve less than depicted by the 50% rule, so let’s use a likely more accurate 40%1800 - 720 (expenses) - 1468 = negative $388/monthNow let’s imagine you self manage and you time is not worth anything (I strongly recommend believing your time is worth less or worth less than a quality PM would charge) with 8% further reduction so expenses are down to 32%1800 - 576 (expenses) - 1468 = negative $244/month. 

My strategy incorporates asset protection measures like LLCs, specific trusts as well as professional property management to spread risk and ensure quality operations.As well as using tax codes to my benfiitSection 179, IRC Section 162, Cost Segregation and Bonus Depreciation and later 1031 them out for larger projects. 

If you buy a high quality asset in a nice suburb with great schools, which appreciates, you increase your chances of success.
