Also, with tenants make sure to get everything in writing (i.e. lease, even routine maintenance items that you fix in their unit).

You want to work with a company that provides excellent guest communication around the clock, pays and schedules service providers, verifies their work to ensure quality, and handles routine maintenance and restocking.

I also, and this is just me, think that if a property routinely rents to the first person who views it (and that person is super excited about what a good deal it is) it's underpriced.

I had a lady who would routinely get in fights with her boyfriend, and after he or she would damage doors by kicking them they'd expect me to fix it for free.

Here is my routine: I introduce myself and my client, talk about weather.

So about 23k, plus you have to factor in vacancies, routine repairs and maintenance, repaining the place every 5 years or so, and any other expenses that come up, such as power and water expenses while showing a vacant house.I have three townhouses right now, two at 1% and one that i'm living in now that will be around 1.3%.

It's easier to hold yourself accountable when there's a routine.

My advice:Get a business plan of where you want to be and work backwards to layout the steps needed to get there.Get your systems and tech in place now, so its routine and you can scale with ease. 

my main point though is that  all the rust belt cities for those who know how to get the deals have the same metrics or darn near themI have my clients in baltimore city that routinly are all in at 60 to 90k with 1400 to 1800 Section 8 rents.. now ranted rents skyrocketed last 20 months it was not always that great of spread but I have done about 50 for those guys ..
