Is this ultimately a land play? 

Then make the decision if being a hands on landlord is something you are realistically interested in. 

@Rene Hosman As a property manager with 20 years experience and a portfolio of 1,000+ single family homes, I can say concessions like reduced rent rarely work well for smaller landlords.

Originally listed above $200k, we landed at $171k.

Land Ed is one phase of ground-up development.

I know this is above and beyond what most municipalities require, but being fair will make the whole process easier.Additionally, a new landlord can reduce the 60-90-day notice by offering more moving assistance (cash and/or labor) if they move sooner rather than later.

I hope this helps you land on goals, then you can dive deeper into where.

Once you land on the right PM, transition everything to them.As others have stated, four houses is not a big task.

Although I know most sec 8 landlords use it because of the perception of guaranteed rents.As a small home builder I really dont know how they are going to lower the cost of new construction housing unless the govmit subsidizes it somehow.. basically the price of home components are very sticky they only go up. with the xception of lumber that will go  up and down through out the year..

For a new agent to land a listing they typically over promise a seller a high price to win it and then spend money trying to find the magical buyer to purchase it.
