They sell to slum lords, do horrible work...

Should I price the land 2 times above market value and offer a low interest rateORPrice the land at current market and use a very high rate?

@Dhruv Patel I believe you are getting ahead of yourself....Where in the US are you all-in (land acquisition, soft costs, hard construction) on new construction multi-family for $100/ft.

Hi everyone,I’m a new investor learning the ropes of being a midterm landlord.

sounds like someone got a nasty gram.. we see this with the syndicators that are called out then threaten the investor who called them out.. or anyone else companing about a service only to have the company either threaten or tell them if you take this down or retract we will give you your money back.. kind of like landlords lying about how great their dead beat tenant is to just get them to move on to the next landlord.

Texas tends to favor landlords in these cases, but follow the legal process exactly—any misstep could delay things.As for protecting against retaliation or property damage, installing security cameras (if you haven’t already) to monitor common areas might be worth it.

In our experience, the #1 mistake landlords make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.

It’s the simplest way to get a feel of what it is like to be a landlord without going through the hassle of managing rehab projects.

Talk to your insurance carrier to make sure you have the right policy (may need to switch from regular homeowners to landlord policy) and look into an umbrella insurance policy.
