Keep in mind this is a business not a charity, supplementing a tenants rent to avoid a turnover is a clear indication of a inefficiently operated business.

I currently have an entire separate website, FB page, email, etc. simply as a means to supplement my bookings along side the major platforms.

You have to ask yourself, do you want to be some real estate mogul with 100+ rentals or are you just looking for something simple to supplement your retirement?  

Grandmother had dementia/Alzheimer's, we had power of attorney, deeded the house over to our name, and now the rental income is supplementing her medical bills. 

It's basically seller financing as a second mortgage to supplement the first.

I have recently decided that I must supplement my current government income through passive means so that I can set myself up for a great position to "escape the rat race" when I transition to civilian life in a few years.  

And I am allergic to even hearing about potential fraud - my fists begin to clench uncontrollably, etc...With no pics and no (legal) way for you to get inside (“tenants have rights”) (btw, this also applies to an inspector,) has the seller asked for a deposit or much of your personal info?

Hello Bigger Pockets community!A while back I posted a question about how to get my start in REI, specifically regarding the impact of a real estate license.  I got a lot of great feedback!  As I sit on the topic some...

Before making the investment, I conducted my due diligence, discovering interesting figures:CAP Rate: 4.144%Asset Value: $213,898.00Profit Per Unit: $184.65Year 1 Cash ROI: 44.33%Year 1 Total ROI: 62.68%Year 1 Total Cash Flow: $8,863.00Expenses: 39.38% Price Per SqFt: $55.34These numbers demonstrate passive income, supplementing my full-time salary and allowing me to save for a future down payment or assist in a real estate venture.

I have a tenant who is moving out this Friday and It has came to my attention that the tenant has had a dog in my property when the lease specifically states that I do not allow pets because Im am allergic to dogs and because I just did a complete remodel on this property before the tenant moved in last year.
