you can utilize a skip tracing company to get contact information for the owners.

paying mgt any landscape/snow/utilities?

I received a TON of pushback from my tenants refusing to agree to use a payment platform they weren’t familiar with.

Salaries, compensation, rent, taxes, utilities, fees, MLS, etc.The flat fee model is a recipe for disaster."

Utilities are OFTEN overlooked so reach out to power, telecom, gas (or go all electric), water, and sewer to make sure you understand what it would take to get separately metered services from the primary house.

Thanks a ton :) 

Hi Myles,I found myself managing about 20 rentals through my brokerage at one point.

There's a few different ways to focus on a lower rate such as with house hacking and making the investment your primary residence, requesting a significant closing credit from the sellers for standard rate buy-downs (which I've had great success with recently), or utilizing lenders who offer short term rate lowering solutions such as 2-1 rate buy downs (again, ideally paid for by the sellers).

And what strategy are you looking to utilize of investing? 

I don’t really have an interest in House hacking if long-term rates are $700 a month incl utilities for a bedroom.
