25 January 2025 | 18 replies
I can have multiple one use code for contractors so I can control access without physically going there.You do not need to carry the key, just need to keep track all codesMain disadvantage is that the locking requires the door to close properly, otherwise the tenant may not know the door is not licked.
Bob Asad Has Anyone Done Tax Deed Auctions in FL?
11 January 2025 | 6 replies
For #3, I see multiple properties being sold like this, not $30k; but $200k properties being sold at tax deed auctions for $50k-75k#4 - I don't see how this could be realistic, how would someone have time or money to visit every single property in person especially when participating in multiple auctions across the state?

@Rae Chris Ann Arbor is pretty expensive, so difficult to find cashflowing rentals.You may want to look in Ypsilanti - if you want to stay in your area.Otherwise, Metro Detroit offers a LOT of options.Read our copy & paste below for some helpful info:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Rene Hosman WTF is a land swap?
16 January 2025 | 13 replies
@Rene Hosman Generally, Reasons for Land Swaps are to: - Resolving zoning conflicts - Acquiring strategically important properties - Consolidating land holdings - Avoiding costly legal battles - Achieving public policy goalsWhen I was a Planning Commissioner projects would discuss land swaps for larger development projects to make sure the community impact was greater (typically gaining conservation land for us) than just allowing a rezone to be approved without public benefit.

Robert Quiroz Why are a lot of MFH being sold with rents under market
13 January 2025 | 30 replies
Let's assume that the neighborhood is a C class and the median income of the city is greater than 3X of the market rent.Here are some of the considerations I've come up with so far:- Units are in need of renovation and capex is too high or not available- Unit quality is not the same as market - Seller is worried about losing tenants due to increase- Vacancy rates are high or filling units have been difficult- Rent increase would take multiple increases over multiple lease periods to get to market rate if seller is trying to retain the same tenant- Seller inherited property and just want to liquidate- Seller needs to liquidate quickly (financial burden, sickness, quick exit from land-lording)It seems like I might be missing a warning sign about a deal if they are selling with current rents that are under market; but again, this seems to be most of the properties I've underwritten.And in the same vein, what should I be worried about when purchasing a deal with under market rent with the intention of raising them after purchase.
