Figure out what they're willing to pay, use those numbers to refine your search on houses you should buy. 

Or, you could ask for a rate quote based on a range of credit scores and you can figure out what they'd charge you on your own.

In my experience, most properties that go to auction end up overpriced so I'd be prepared to attend a LOT in order to get something that worked on paper.When I attended my first market auction with an experienced agent the advice he gave me was to figure out my maximum beforehand and stick to it (Seems obvious but people get caught up in winning).

I am trying to figure out how many markets I should focus on at once.

I live in California.I also wanted to know if there was anything you wish you had known before setting up an LLC/IRA and why you chose to set one up and has having one met your expectations?

You know what else has an expected return of -2%? 

@Hunter DuplantisFind out what median income is in your area/neighborhood, and don't expect to charge more than1/3 their income.

There’s a lot different tenant types and I’ve spent a lot of time figuring things out.

I don't want to pile on...we've all made mistakes and figure things out as we go.

As mentioned above it there are dozens if not a hundred+ small items that are easy to forget that guests will expect you to have (can opener, wine opener, oven mitts etc)
