From fluctuating interest rates to evolving buyer demand, navigating today’s market requires flexibility and strategy.Are you seeing more opportunities in flips, rentals, or commercial properties?

I plan to start by investing in a SFH to get my feet wet and then growing my portfolio from there.

At first, he was anxious about having multiple tenants under one roof, but with the right house rules spelled out up front, it turned into a solid monthly cash fow for him.

This is a property has been in the family a long time and I'll be holding onto long term as it turns a good profit.

I am foreseeing a bit of a push back or even turned-off potentially decent tenants by the $50/pp screening fee, mostly for a family of 4 ($200 out of pocket).I was wondering if offering a credit of either 50% or the full 100% of the screening costs from the first or second month's rent is a good idea.Thought?

This decision increased our budget from $15K to $45K, but it turned out to be a wise investment.The increased budget allowed us to enhance the property's overall value significantly, and we were able to sell it for a much higher price than initially anticipated.

@Stacey OlsonRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
