Landlord would have to send a text occasionally to remind me to send two more checks, which I never post dated.I can see when I do rent out property I need the CYA paper work, along with a CSI crime scene kit to document the before and after.Thanks Bryn

We don't know any of the people but the neighborhood is C and 3 months vacant was a flashing sign out front: kick me.

The housing authority's specific inspection requirements must be completed by the property, which occasionally calls for more renovations or repairs.

I think the 15% rule is a pretty good starting point for the $ end of things, and there are occasionally MLS deals here that will pencil out.  

The average for active full time agents is higher because many licensees only do an occasional deal (part time agents, partially retired agents, property managers who hold their license just to manage, investors who use their license just for their own deals, etc.).

Occasionally I will see properties at 1%. 

I am a fan of checking in occasionally to make sure the cleaner is on top of things and to do a walk through to check safety things like deck boards and steps, railings etc.

While I occasionally have a tenant complain about being in the downstairs units, it is rare. 

Occasionally this presents investors with an opportunity to avoid a formal mortgage qualification process and obtain their mortgage privately from the seller(s) directly.

Only occasionally is there a REALTOR involved.The people who suck at numbers and are  “parasites” actually don’t close deals and eventually get ignored by most.
