I've seen people purchase units that will net them under $500/mo after all expenses and I'm genuinely curious how you account for potential repairs down the road related to HVAC, roofing, etc.?

This isn’t a post to bash, just a genuine curiosity.

Hey @Jesus Santoyo - I am almost certain this is a non-issue assuming you are moving into your new residence genuinely as your primary place of ownership and there is clear reasoning for your move.Maybe worth connecting with @Michael Facchini or @Landon Hoon both local Chicago lending experts. 

Whether it's related to marketing, attracting clients, handling property inspections, or any other aspect, your wisdom would be highly valued.I genuinely appreciate any feedback, advice, or personal experiences you can share. 

Of course he wants to be the person to sell you properties and that's one aspect, but besides that, what I was most impressed with, was his genuine love for the city and his knowledge of seemingly every nook and cranny there. 

He wasn't just looking to close a deal but genuinely finding one that made sense for me and my goals.The complication is he's at a small regional firm. 

Sure,It will be difficult to get 10% net cap on A class.I have been looking at multifamily complexes for the last 6 months and whenever I get a B class complex sent to me showing around a 10% net cap it always catches my eye. 90% of the time the expenses are not genuine and property management isn't included in those expenses either.

I'm trying to determine if my current management company is genuinely legit and efficient or if I might be better off looking elsewhere.Some things I'm curious about:1.

That’s a critical part of the team with a possibly more economical solution.Whether you're a property manager trying to navigate through slim profit margins or a hands-on owner overseeing your properties, I genuinely believe that using virtual assistants is crucial for keeping costs down and managing things on a larger scale.Until I can gradually build a solid partnership with a trustworthy property management company, I'd much rather handle things myself with virtual assistants to control costs and have a hands-on approach to my portfolio.

Fran Hunter in the bastrop county tourism office sent the emails and was very helpful and they seem to be genuinely interested in building the short-term rental market and making it a positive thing for both sides - if you're going to call someone to discuss, I would call her (you will have to look her up as it won't let me post the details).
