They are a great crowd, and networking was amazing.I just finished the self paced course and just got off the phone with them concerning the Gold and Platinum programs for mentorship.  

Since you're wrapping up paperwork, make sure your lease terms are solid, get the right insurance (landlord + homeowner), and set aside some cash for future repairs.

These properties cover my mortgage, allow me to save for maintenance/repairs, and are projected to be worth $7–9 million by retirement.

They also have a link at the bottom of the page about what happens if you have repairs that can't be done within 21 days. 

Use tax benefits like depreciation, repair deductions, and tax-free refinance proceeds to offset income, and consider an LLC for liability protection.

Deduct NEW property taxes after you buyDeduct home insurance costsDeduct maintenance percentage, typically 10%Deduct vacancy+tenant nonperformance percentage(we recommend 5% for Class A, 10% Class B, 20% Class C, good luck with Class D)Deduct whatever dollar/percentage of cashflow you wantNow, what you have left over is the amount for debt service.Enter it into a mortgage calculator, with current interest rate for an investment property, to determine your maximum mortgage amount.Divide the mortgage amount by either 75% or 80%, depending on the required down payment percentage - this is your tentative price to offer.If the property needs repairs, you'll want to deduct 110%-120% of the estimated repairs from this amount.Be sure to also research the ARV and make sure it's 10-20% higher than your tentative purchase price.As long as the ARV checks out, this is the purchase price to offer.It is probably significantly below the asking price.

The appliance repair man who just went out said to get a power surge protector for washer/dryer and they had a lot of issues with recent fires and power surge.

Handle a few properties for other owners, minor repairs, find new tenants, and rake in 10% .

One year after I used that property to pull a HELOC and this year used that money to purchase an off market 4 family property in Clinton for well under market value, which I just recently finished all of the repairs and upgrades on.

Is anyone aware of any of a property management tool that allows PMs to give discounts to tenants who enroll in autopay (similar to how major US phone providers like do these days)?
