If these homes were such great investments, they would keep them for their own portfolio.When you purchase an investment, calculate your returns based on actual performance.

Research comps in the Milwaukee area or connect with a local appraiser to estimate your property’s potential value.Depending on the rental income, you might explore DSCR loans for your refinance, as they rely on property performance more than personal income.

I think what you describe is pretty much standard performance for rental properties if your not paying cash and I am just assuming your putting max debt on them to try to get your return numbers into your criteria..

@Chris Kay finding a quality, cost-effective contractor is extremely difficult:(There are thousands of contractors that are great talkers, but rarely perform within budget.Standard bait & switch is to lowball a bid, then once they get started all sorts of things "pop up" that somehow their bid didn't cover.

Never heard of him.Make sure you perform proper due diligence.

But, they have ZERO liability for the performance of that tenant.Second, 97%+ have no idea on how to screen a tenant, other than income = 3x rent and a credit score.
