I have 30+ units and on a regular month usually only spend about 5 hours total on management things, most of which involves collecting rents and bookkeeping.

If your realtor is truly interested in the success of your real estate investing business, then it will not matter whether he or she is collecting a commission on the deal. 

He is trying to collect all the hurting students for his new investment company.Tyler Deveraux and Ryan Woolley are both starting new companies.

.- >65K in rent collected- having someone to bring in Amazon packages when it is raining outside- generally having someone to watch over the property when out of town oftenI think the headache is worth it.

Hi @Emily Gowen, whether you should sell comes down to what income (both cash flow and appreciation) you could realistically expect from the properties in the next X number of years vs. the amount of money you could make by selling now and either reinvesting or just sticking that cash in the S&P and collecting your 6-10% risk-free returns YoY.

What rent collection software do you recommend and why?

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Forget collections agency.

Sellers may struggle to mentally shift from "owner" to "tenant," which can create challenges with boundaries and property care.Security Deposit:If you’re doing a temporary leaseback, be sure to collect a substantial security deposit to cover potential damages and ensure they vacate on time.

I am in the middle of purchasing my first rental property in Arkansas and was wondering if changing the wording of "pet addendum" to "animal addendum" would allow for the "animal deposit" and monthly "animal rent" to be collected?
