I am also a local Realtor for an amazing investor focused realty team that helps our investors from start to finish and beyond with their investment properties.

My estimate is 90% of the time we obtain a tenant in our first open house.  

Unfortunately BP search for people is less than desirable so had to make a post to try and find people.If you are in the area, love to connect as we have a lot of opportunities (portfolio of assets) that just came our way.

Wish we had done more market research before renting the 1st floor apartment to friends of ours.

Quote from @Denise Lang: Hello everyone,my wife and I want to start our real estate investing journey to boost our wealth and retirement fund.

Our first year out was crazy good renting for $3300 when market rate was around $2100, but by mid 2023 and 2024 it felt harder.

(This is what we do, no upkeep,  and we love the 10% down, plus cash flow, principal deduction and tax write offs) Some of our investors use their SDIRA or 401(k) or pension to do this.4.

Check our chat messages, should still be there. 

Owner/Occupants want function and style.Investors perhaps more numbers focused...probably want numbers to work day 1.Owner/Occupants....they'll stretch to make the numbers work....what can we cut to make our dream home work for us.Personally I don't think either thinks about exit strategies too much or maybe even not enough.I would say Owner/Occupants way way more focused on cosmetics and less about maintenance. 

Is it possible for her to have that many hours (750h) by managing our 9 properties?
