Quality VariesNot all coaching programs are created equal.

Assume break even cash flow while rented which includes a generous $600/mo repair fund. 

One is the $10,000 repair expenses.

I put $6000 into repairs, mostly paint, new light fixtures, new appliances, painting cabinets and fix a small leak coming from the roof.

You'll still have plenty of money to do a duplex/quadplex and give you breathing room (what would you do if you needed a large repair on the rental?).

You’ll learn the ropes on how to be a landlord with a lower risk/higher quality tenant-base. 

A CPA can ensure proper filing of rental income on Schedule E and help identify tax-saving strategies, such as optimizing deductions for maintenance, repairs, and travel.

Right now, I concern myself with the quality asset.

They'd be much better off being a Hard Money Lender and make 5 times that (and every repair to their "investment house" is paid by them...So, if you put $10k down on a property and make $150/month net cash flow your Coc Return (annualized) is 18% which is Very Good.If you followed that and understand it then keep looking for a deal.

I've stuck with the tried and true reasons I've heard to keep my search ranking high (quality photos, stellar reviews, updates to my listing) and that helps but in slow season, when I'm not willing to cut my rates as much as some of my competitors, it can be a ghost town.
