With 100 properties owned, with a regular property management you're still looking at at least 5 hours a week to manage them if you have good systems in place. 

Are monthly updates preferred as long as there is bulletproof accounting? 

Hi Tyler, any updates?

They will most likely have to update it a bit.

I spoke to several of the insurance agents we use here in the Disney area and they have all said that policies are regularly being written and by all they hear, will continue to do so. 

Agree that we should not be spending a lot on renovations or repairs, but almost everything needed replacements/updates after we turned over the original tenants.

LL would have no incentive to paint, update flooring, etc.  

These services help identify any red flags that an individual review might miss.Regularly Update Rental Criteria: As fraud tactics evolve, so too should your rental criteria and screening processes.

Any update on this?

On paper the cheap houses look great, but the reality is they are harder to manage, have higher turn over and cost a lot more time and money.Buying before you retire is a good idea because once you retire, your ability to borrow money is going to decrease as you don't have a regular income from a job.As you want to fix houses up, why not buy a house that needs a bit of work, live in it while doing the renos and then move when you sell it.
