It's a much cleaner relationship if you can put yourself in a position to be 100% giving as opposed to collecting.  4. 

Pay particular attention to the yards, driveways, and exteriors for clues.

In a few circumstances, I have obtained 100% financing by offering an equity share as opposed to debt financing.

I was curious if there were any other Palmdale Landlords on here, if so when you rented out your properties, did you see significant demand for the rent by the room strategy as opposed to renting the whole the house?

In my lease and my contract with owners, I do 2 interior inspections a year and 2 exterior  or "drive by".

Commissions are merely written into the contracts now as opposed to being listed on the MLS. 

You can compete with them by offering to buy and front cash as opposed to lend to the estate.Like I said, not for someone looking for low hanging fruit or for someone without a legal team, but there are some fabulous deals working with estates.

The plan was to complete flooring, electrical upgrades, new kitchen and bathroom, exterior fascia work, and some new windows, with a target listing date of June 15th.Update (5/12/24):The property has been stabilized since June 1st of the previous year with great tenants in place.

An STR will look every bit as good as it did when it started - because it has to.Not only that but it is much easier for property managers to get repairs reimbursed when a guest damages something as an STR as opposed to when a long term renter moves out and outside of the security deposit, good luck. 

(Please note: if you are changing windows, siding, porch posts, porch structure, and any other major exterior changes ...get ready to paid more money $100.00 and meet the UDC -Urban Design Commission in which they meet twice a month to review your exterior changes for an approval, non-approval or defer which means more waiting before you get to the finish line which is your building permit for your rehab6.
