I position my inspections as 'planning for future repairs/improvements' which mitigates that whole 'he's here to get my security deposit' mindset.And, I would rather have the tenant with me than to have him later claim that something was broken during the inspection.  

We've invested around $50,000 in improvements (central air and hardscaping) and our mortgage is a 30-year fixed at 2.5%, with a PITI of $2400.We think it could rent for $3,750 - $4,000 per month based on local comps.

I tried to get in contact with an agent through BP's find an agent, but the concierge said BP didn't have an agent in the area.Question: What is a good way to get in contact with an agent who can help me narrow down locations and then focus on finding properties thereProperty management:Seeing as this is my first investment property, I would like to start with property management and learn more as I progress.Question: Is property management common in PR and are there any recommendations?

I focus mostly on being a builder these days.

Hi Everyone, I work for a investor focused Real Estate Team (Morrow Wargo Group) based around Allentown.

With retirement in five years, your focus should be on balancing cash flow, risk, and tax efficiency.

Appraiser will check the rent schedule and if there were any improvements done.4.

You have to make a deal rather than buy a deal, be more appreciation focused, and be more patient.

This ensures you focus your time and resources on deals that align with your goals.

Focus on analyzing properties and starting small, like house hacking or buying a single-family home to rent out rooms, while ensuring cash flow and maintaining an emergency fund.
