Others do this as well.Pros - control without debt.Cons - risks without equity or appreciation Yolanda

@Bosko MijatovicIf the home is in pre-foreclosure, the current owner is still in control of the property and would be the primary contact to moving forward with a sale.

And like many, I ache to regain control of my day to day.

SFR — advantages, generally better appreciation, tenants do not fight, fewer things to “referee,” tenants take more responsibility generally when they have control of the whole property.

Another way the Gov't is trying to control our Economy and housing...Socializing Business!

(Of course that would be contingent upon you becoming an agent at that brokerage and staying there for 6-12 months or something of that nature.)Other good questions to ask them would be what are their commission splits, a breakdown of ALL fees (monthly or annually), what their commission cap is, whether they provide leads for you and if the commission changes if they do, how often they provide training and what the topics of the trainings usually are, do they provide mentoring to help you work through deals, etc.Also, keep in mind that there are fees that the Broker has no control over such as MLS access, ($300/6 mo in PA), Realtor dues if the Broker is a member of the association of Realtors ($600/yr in PA), marketing materials, cost of yard signs, networking associations to network with investors, etc.

Leaving the first or second floor open could be a good selling point as tenants usually don't like to make the move up and down a flight (or two) of stairs.In addition, you will likely hear less noise below you as opposed to above you.You can sit up top in your ivory tower and control your property!

Is the rent controlled?

FLETC is also far larger than the air traffic control academy.

Then you need to get control of the property using an alternative strategy to a direct buy.
