Quote from @Raymond Kalonji: Hello, I have decided to welcome section 8 applications for my rental, but I'm wondering if my screening criteria listed below are unrealistic for applicants:- Minimum credit score: 640.- Minimum household income: 90,000 $USD per year (Can be waived with Section 8 or HCV voucher). - Minimum rental history: 2 years (please provide references).

Hello, I'm in the process of purchasing a single-tenant commercial building, and I'm looking for recommendations on property management software.

It would be a very expensive pet in one of my rentals - so much so that the tenant would decide it wasn't worth it or go somewhere else. 

I work with a lot of househackers and they're typically on the 12 month cycle, rinse and repeat.While the proposition of acquiring an investment property outside of your market in a "landlord friendly" state may sound appealing, i would recommend you stay local for now and househack another couple of properties over the next few years until you've got some more time / experience under your belt.you would need a management company to cover your property that is outside of your market which would not only take 8-10% of your gross it would also leave you a bit vulnerable to a property management company that you A.)know nothing about and B.)you won't have the experience or cashflow or proximity to deal with any headaches that may arise.i would recommend staying local and househacking your way along for now and then maybe hire a local property management company initially to work with your current/local properties to get a taste of what to expect if and when you begin investing outside of your market.

Hey Anton, I'm a broker and property manager here in Sacramento with a lot of experience in coliving, we manage about 100 airbnb rentals and some by the room.

Property management - maybe 3-4k/year.

I want to know more about the area and build a team that can help me purchase and manage properties.   

Sometimes the question needs to be "When not if the real estate cycle impacts my property, do I have the skills to manage a downturn?" 

Reqauest a refund from them verbally and in writing and  continue to follow up and  go up the  management  chain if needed . 

I’ve been in the industry for several years, and my work has given me a solid understanding of property systems, maintenance, and what makes a home a great investment.I’m now looking to expand my own real estate journey by learning how to acquire and manage short-term and long-term rental properties.
