For example, tenant selection is crucial to minimize issues down the line, and it's essential to know fair housing and landlord-tenant laws, especially if you’re considering investing in a state like California with stringent regulations.You may want to consider starting with one property and exploring property management services if things get busy.

Now we are getting started in Birmingham AL (my mom's birthplace) and are excited to branch out to select areas in the South over the next few years.I am starting off with flips, but will transition soon to rentals using a BRRR strategy.

The best way to have a reliable tenant in your property is to:Buy a property that attracts a tenant segment with a high concentration of reliable people.Work with a property manager who can consistently select reliable tenants.

If you want to lend long term debt, you don’t want to compete and be the cheapest on the block (that’s a race to the bottom), you want to lend on stuff that nobody else (or a select few) will lend on and charge a premium for it.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Hey Maurizio, first thing is you need to select/finalize the market you're going to invest in.

The numbers you find in the news are usually for all properties combined, which tells you very little value.In 2005, we selected a specific tenant segment that has proved to be a highly reliable source of income for our clients.

For assessing demand, go to FurnishedFinder.com/stats and you can see demand data for a given city.When I was trying to determine demand for our area, I selected about 20 listings near the location I was focused on, and tracked them for several months.

And those facts are the US is loosing, and we have idiots in charge because we select idiots, who's focus is there personal power, personal enrichment, not the job, the country, the long term ramifications.
