If you don't learn to manage your investment well, you will eventually destroy your property, lose money, waste your time, or drive yourself insane.

There is also a significant investment happening in the Buckeye area that should drive appreciation in that part of town in the coming years although currently I would classify that area more as a C- or D+ depending on the street.Best of luck to you!

I don't know if it's counter intuitive or not but your best intermediaries are going to be in the cluster of the middle range of fees.  

We handled everything in-house from the point that we acquired the properties to listing them on our website and pushing them out thru an internal sales force that did outbound calls to investors.

The price started at 120k and I counter-offered 90k to which the seller was going to accept.

What about drive approaches, parking lots, site lights, landscape, irrigation, etc.? 

Most people drive miles to work, or work out of the house. 

It is counter-intuitive, but more expensive homes is much easier.

Also the value (in this case) is determined by the NOI, so assuming it will be worth 2x, is assuming your NOI is thru the roof (which is can be, but it's not likely in the first 5 years).

It is a platform with a large user based which will help drive more potential viewers to your listing.
