that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

I have a team that manages our ads getting $15-20 leads nationwide wondering if AI is beating that.

@Phil Petite Forming an LLC in Tennessee is recommended if your rental properties are located there, as it simplifies legal compliance, avoids the need to register as a foreign LLC, and aligns the LLC with Tennessee's laws for property management and tenant disputes.

Yes, I'm a Property Manager in the greater Phoenix area.We are a mid-size property manager, large enough to have great tools and support but small enough to provide personal service.

Their insurance has asked me to return the month's payment for the remaining days of their rental (Unfortunately, I did not have a cancellation agreement).I am unsure how to handle this situation, especially since I couldn't fill the majority of the rental dates and had to offer discounts for the days I did manage to book.

I have some clients who prefer to have a PM for maintenance/contact/rent collection/general management and will place tenants and write leases for themselves in exchange for a reduced rate.  

Investing in a property that’s already renovated, rented, and professionally managed could allow you to start generating passive income immediately without the added expenses of house hacking.What’s most important for you in this first deal—cash flow, appreciation, or long-term stability?

Because you live on the property, management will be easier.

Until then, I'll be trying to absorb everything I can to fine tune my approach and prepare for managing REI business post-acquisition.

However, managing multiple projects simultaneously proved overwhelming.
