@Luis Cerwin as others have stated, Nov - Jan is the worst time of year to have a vacancy.Majority of tenants live paycheck-to-paycheck, so all their income goes to Holiday spending starting with Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then xmas, then NYE.January is also historically the worst month for rent payments due to Holiday Hangover Spending.

The first and most important step is to post the 10 day demand for rent letter to get the clock started.

Hi everyone,I'm a new home buyer from Bay Area and trying to get pre-approvals in place before I start making offers.

In some areas, we board up the 1st floor windows until we are about to start marketing the property.

Don't be paralyzed thinking you don't know enough to get started.

Hi @Ken Almira - once you have narrowed your market, make sure you build a team from the start so you'll get the best education in that particular area.

Being the heart & soul of the project from start to finish.

They don't rely on the meager information obtained from continuing education classes, but instead they research more on their own.The CPA exam is a start, but the education obtained from experience, asking questions, digger deeper, consulting with other professionals, as well as other sources is valuable. 

And I will go outside, and when I hear the noise, I will look at the home itself and start listing the things I love about it.

The biggest expense for many agents is their marketing budget to get leads and grow their business, but if you’re looking to be just part time to start you won’t need that.
