Price points are low when acquiring real estate but that also comes with lower rental market values for your units so it pretty much evens itself out.With that, if you are going to buy in Reading I advise you strongly consider managing your own properties.

Readers are advised to seek professional advice.

While I haven't listened to that episode, I generally advise similar clients to have a certain # of months of operating expenses in reserve to cover repairs/capex.

Please advise.

Now that it is in a Special Needs trust my attorney advises that it would not be a good idea to charge him rent because some of his disability check would be funneled right into his his special needs trust.

Can any of you guys advise me on a short-term rental deal in the Poconos?

There's some who are more so there to help advise as I make my own path presumably with the ability to identify issues ahead of time.

Could any of you please advise us (not legal I understand) if setting up an LLC or these homes in a trust, etc would be beneficial?

Normally, they negotiate with the company and advise you on the loss.
