When you deside in the lease; the tenants are responsible for the utilities; landlords cannot just steal the accounts FYI.

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $35,000 I purchased the home directly behind mine in order to "steal" the backyard.

Another reason for 5 years is that's when you start seeing those pesky/expensive CAPEX events that steal the CF that you've made previously. 

I guess I’d be considered a stalker in any other context.You see, my son turned me on to BP quite awhile ago and since that time, I’ve basically been addicted to it but never made the obligatory introduction or participated in the discussions (stealth mode).And now, to my chagrin, I wanted to ask a few questions but figured I’d better introduce myself first.I live in Lancaster County, PA.

OK, looking for some input on a situation.  Had a tenant behind on the rent and then had one excuse after another as to not paying and then flew off one night.  The security deposit won't cover the damages and we are ...

We also utilize stealth noise monitoring and wifi enabled devise detection to keep an eye out for over occupancy & noise issues like this. 

(Given, I didn't steal the funds in any way and not running for any public office)

But what you have right now is this irrational desire to BRRRR and those that are attracted to it tend to be newer investors with limited capital and want to get started and scale fast so they want to use their cash replenish and repeat.. this opens up huge opportunities for those folks who understand the mind set to step into that niche and some of them are just not good actors .. its pretty much daily you see a post now.. about don't work with this guy don't work with that guy.. and the one thing that ties them together is generally out of area investors trying to do 50k rehabs for 20k because the wholesaler told them that's what it would cost.. and come to find out its does not work.. and or the contractors are terrible and or flat out steal the money.  

That is one lie-ing Property Manager--wow.Over $100 and other items.Plus the thieving renters with their legal theory on how theft is not illegal.Seems like you should rent to a better type of renter who has no inclination to steal things--and hire a BETTER Manager.Good Luck!

Data could be deceiving Based on my experience a lot of people overpay/underpay based on data trends and local investors steal the deals Real estate is local You gotta get a feel for itI drive to any listing that seems interesting to me to check out the neighborhood @Corbin Lane
