It's a notoriously steady tenant base that chooses renting for the sake of flexibility on their orders.

I don't know why it chooses to show some and hide some, but that's my issue.

That's another 5% off of your cash flow.I choose to preemptively fix anything that will likely need to be fixed within the first 3 years, at the time of purchase, and I keep a general reserve on hand.  

NETWORKING is the key to this business and you are wise to have started here on bigger pockets ;-)Best of luck however you choose to proceed.

I primarily do the fix ups and handle management, but like I said If i can make 30-50k on a filp in 3-5 months I choose that over renting out properties that will pull in 20k a year then after taxes, ins, utilities, you will clear 12-14k.I treat rentals as just a stepping stone or beginning foundation.

I am so tired of having the CPA say "ask your attorney"  or the attorney telling me to "check with your accountant"  I would like a one stop shop that will leave me confident that I am covering my assets/choosing the correct entities and taking advantage of all of the tax advantages of real estate investing. 

If they were given enough information to make a qualified, educated decision they would be more able to not  only choose wisely but to commit to their decision and stay with it.It's said that successful people ("entrepreneurs") decide quickly and change their minds slowly, if at all.

You can also choose accents, i find the UK accent is the smoothest to listen to, some others sound a little robotic. 

I do not choose to do deals with those exactly like me but those that are hungry and show a real zest for learning, doing and openly sharing s a must.

And again you will want to vette them at least your talking with the owners and not paying absorbent fee;s on top the purchase price because you choose to work with a west coast marketing company.. so save those dollars and go direct.Bottom line is out of state investing is a very serious thing and you cannot listen to anyone .. this is your money and you need to understand the risks.I will be in Honolulu at the Nauru tower for 10 days and if you would like to pop by I would be happy to discuss all that I have learned in my 20 years of owning and financing these assets.
