Wrong Property Management ApproachIt doesn’t matter how good the people who are doing the property management are, if they are not using a property management approach designed for co-living, everyone loses.  

The national debt is approaching $36,000,000,000,000 if the government numbers are to be believed.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

If I were to approach a seller of a $200k home, and they had a remaining mortgage of $100k, could I get a new bank financed loan for that $100k, and have the seller finance the remaining $100k of equity to me?

Almost every realtor has several investors ready to invest at least $2 million in cash.If you’re planning to use hard money loans, agents won’t show properties without prior proof of funds.I’m curious, is this a general market trend in Ohio or just this particular realtor’s approach?

We own our house in Seattle and are trying to determine the best strategy for our move - what approach would net us the most money over the next 1-3 years.
