And, screen the crap out of your tenants!

No issues there at all.But never wanted to compromise beliefs just to make sales.Not my style.If we did that, we would probably just be another turnkey provider with a crap reputation.Grazie mille cario mio

All this to say, holy crap, the BP community is awesome!

Quote from @Alex Kosley:You probably havn;t live thru a downturn yet, but when it turns down everything goes to crap at the same time...that's why I say pay off the 401k loans.   

For instance, most track builders build in a crap-ton of fluff into the price of the house so they can provide a "credit" (like $15K or more) toward closing costs if and only if you use their lender...where they can charge whatever they want.

The same thing you call your "BRRRR oh crap renovation cost overrun fund," which needs to be sizeable anyways, your LO can call your reserves.

If they are paying a 2 night minimum for $399/night plus all the other crap I'm not worried.

also the garage .. its not impossible to find that setup but it is more rare. it pulls -$50 per car spot off the rent or -$100 with no garage. that's accounted for with the rental comp.As far as the rear access being make or break im asking you guys on that one. that's the part im not sure about. its an otherwise great deal except these cost cutting measures by the builder. i didn't notice this before walking it yesterdayIm afraid im falling in love with the numbers and these weird things with the property will attract a lessor tenant than i want to deal with and ill be stuck in a nightmare property like i hear about people falling into on accident because they thought the numbers on paper were so much better but the property was crap and nobody wanted it . that's what im afraid of i guess.i did do extensive research on this particular neighborhood so i am familiar with the stats and boots on ground type as i live pretty close about 30 min .

Good tips but what if I get the lock and these morons put their crap in FRONT of my dumpster???

Nothing to it as long as you don't listen to all these SEO companies regurtitating, "backlinks, time on page, click through rate, keywords, content is king" crap.
