Quote from @Rafael Valdor: Quote from @Anthony Therrien-Bernard: Quote from @Rafael Valdor: hi fellow investors,I want to rent out my townhouse in Calgary, but haven't had much luck with it on Rentfaster and Zillow.Just a couple of tire kickers so far.I reached out to a few Realtors (just for tenant placement) and got crickets...So I'm going to reach out to PM's next, but I was reluctant to do it since all I hear are horror stories.Any suggestions for half decent PM's or realtors who specialize in residential leasing?

I suggest before that, get heavily networked into your target market. namely with the older investors.

@Jeff Goedeker A rental P&L statement would be pretty simple to create.  

This is after all construction in Los Angeles, if you've never done it before add 50k.If you have $500,000 in cash I suggest you use it elsewhere, this years long headache is likely not worth the 1000's of man hours you will also have to put into it running your very own team of scientists.

The best part is the free CD is nothing more than a bunch of vague suggestions about how you can make all this money in real estate and vague bragging sessions about how he has been around so long and wants to give you all his knowledge before he croaks (paraphrased) Someday I will be completely immune to the crooks attempts at separating me from my hard earned money.

If I can make a suggestion...Yes with 3 points you might be able to get into the 6's - but let me give a quick example:Let's say loan amount is $250k and making some other assumptions, paying 3 points down would cost $7,500 however that might only save $195/mo. 

@Robert Ok If you are a beginner, I suggest do not join a coaching program yet.

I'm also thinking of turning a room downstairs into a bedroom with a simple wall.The TH is actually across from UCSD, not SDSU.  

Any suggestions on areas?

Jan and Feb are historically slow but a few suggestions I have are1.
