On the flip side, listing agents are facing a future where they need to get creative in marketing properties without relying on the usual commission-sharing motivations.All things considered, we're standing at a crossroads.

Long term versus short term deployment of capital is usually the biggest differentiator. 

I haven't run all the numbers yet, but It appears like a solid cashflow option...A few of my "almost" deals have had extra lots attached, so this is something I'm looking into to put that vacant land to use- if I close a similar deal in the future...thanks,Jimmy

Although, I think you'd have to buy the land --- you usually don't get anything for buying land, at best 50/50.

You can usually identify what is junk and what is of value.

Investors analyze income, costs, financing conditions, market rents, operating efficiency, and other dangers in order to assess cash flow potential.Increased revenue from tenants, extra sources such as laundry facilities, parking fees, and storage rents, as well as mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, maintenance expenses, utilities, property management fees, vacancy allowance, and capital expenditures.

In bedrooms etc, I will usually refinish the wood floors.

You can usually get the water company to remove the sewer portion of the bill once a a leak is repaired as it will demonstrate to them that the usage you're complaining about didn't discharge into the sewer.

For me that is one of the EASIEST maintenance calls I get.In addition, I will pick up some used washers and dryers locally off facebook marketplace for $150-200 and store them usually for when I put a new rental in service and need to put appliances in it.

If you put anyone in a long-term lease, they should be adequately screened, all funds paid, the lease signed, and every other requirement met 100% before you hand them keys.People who pay cash and want to move in immediately are often the worst renters, usually desperate because they were just kicked out of their last place.
