This is a good tenant of 5+ years, and I don’t want to cause unnecessary friction (I’m just trying to set up automatic systems for myself).

As ground-up ADU builds gain popularity I hope we see some affordable options, like modular, but from what I'm seeing now the ROI just wouldn't be there.I'm trying to help spread the word about this law and compile as much information as possible so I can help investors capitalize on it.

Try a Google search for managers or look for an investors group in the area that can provide personal recommendations.1.

Owners cannot recoup these costs through higher rents, meaning they are effectively being penalized for trying to improve their properties.Instead of discouraging responsible property owners who follow the permitting process and invest in meaningful upgrades, we should be focusing our efforts on ensuring that all renovations are done legally and safely.

The dumbest thing I’ve ever done was paying off my first two rentals and trying to pay off my primary.

While they may answer their cell phone at all times of the day, most owners soon find out that the manager is spread too thin and constantly over-promises and under-delivers.At the other end of the spectrum there are owners who are too hadns off, leaving their PMC to try to figure out how much they can do without owner approval.

From there, I try to figure out why this house isn't selling, and if I'm still interested I'll make an offer at a price that works at my numbers.Other than that, yes I think it is a great idea to dig deeper into more creative methods of finding deals - wholesalers, direct mail, door knocking, networking, etc.

If you wait for the problem to occur and then try to educate yourself, you will exacerbate the problem and lose more money.2.

You may want to try a local portfolio bank, but I wouldn't stress over it if it's only saving you a few bps on the rate.

Should I keep looking, or try to work with the more experienced ones, or sign with the newer realtor?
