The trash isn't like trash bags on trash day, it is like empty coke bottles, or empty chip bags.

Might have to test some other background searches and stop doing things through TransUnion.

Hi Jaden,I'm not a fan of hybrid turnkey models like the companies you mention.Also, not a fan of many turnkey marketing companies.Granted, I'm bias but if anyone is interested in turnkey just go straight to the provider.Not many around these days anymore and the one's that are, have stood the test of time and are obviously solid.I think it's less riskier nowadays to invest in turnkey properties than before because all of the poor providers have disappeared and only the good one's are still around.Plus, seems like the "hands off" and so beloved syndications are going belly up so turnkey might be in fashion again.And no big deal IMO that turnkey is not completely "hands off".Is anything completely passive other than 30yr Treasury Bonds?

@Robert Rixer, I don't know how creative these are, as many are common plays:Valet TrashFencing in first floor yardsProviding washer and dryers for added rentReserved, Covered parkingTech PackagesInternet and Cable contracts, with reimbursementsPayment Plan rents, with small service charge (i.e. bill 1/4 rent each week)Reserved Rental cabanas at poolPrivate pool party rental optionGolf Simulator in clubhouse - fee basedOn site, self serve car wash (quarter feeder style)Charged group fitness/personal training servicesGame room in clubhouse with monthly subscription for tenants (Xbox, Playstation, etc)Changing out high maintenance grass for astro turf or lower maintenance/lower water use shrubberyBut ultimately, I think a lot of NOI increases come from deep dive into understanding EVERY expense and finding ways to minimize them, and/or no outsource them.Train maintenance team on basic HVAC and appliance repairs (find way to get them licensed as needed)Buy paint sprayers for faster, easier turns versus having to hire a contract painter, and possibly repaint whole unit each timeStandardize all finishes, so you can buy in bulk, everything from hinges and door knobs to cabinets, paint colors, and light fixtures.Potentially get leasing people onto lower base salary with higher bonus potentialBulk/bundled insurance across portfolio (even better at scale is to self insure)Regularly test sprinkler systems for leaks.Non-NOI, but benefit to you: partner with insurance agency to get referral kickbacks from your tenant base for renter insurance.  

Looking at a HUD home where the pressure test failed for the plumbing.

People don't walk in and say "I need you to prescribe me X" without the physician asking a lot of questions, drawing blood, and doing other tests.

A non-resident alien for tax purposes is a person who is not a U.S. citizen and who does not meet either the “green card” or the “substantial presence” test as described in IRS Publication 519, U.S.

We put them to the test with an office warehouse 3 building 40,000 sq ft syndication 2 years ago and they performed as they stated.When utilizing local lenders who keep the loan in their portfolio, you CAN negotiate on rate BUT I find it much better to pay 1/4 to 1/2 point above the absolute minimum and obtain these other advantages instead.  

i think throwing in some sort of an IQ test along with the application should be mandatory. 

Also, getting the new toilet in the property, unboxing it, putting it together, and testing it.
