Mother nature does not care about our cash flow.

I have found that their algorithm doesn't account for the true nature of neighborhoods.

By hiring a professional, I have quality photographs delivered to my inbox and do not have to ask myself if the home is adequately photographed or make subsequent trips to the home to take additional photos.If you are an experienced photographer that others ask to take their photos, then you can do it yourself.

. :-)The other agents I spoke of had an opportunity (and they were considered by others to be more seasoned in working with investors) to help me reach my goals and in turn receive repeat deals and still get their commission but chose to be all about themselves or in the case of one, just didn't have the experience as an agent and was fumbling.I've learned lot and by nature I soak up knowledge like a sponge.

This is the first year I have owned this complex and I noticed their stickers from previous years near my boilers (baseboard heat powered by natural gas).  

The bottom line is the hands-off nature of the asset.

Stephanie Bureau yes that is possible if you can find a tenant willing to risk the short term nature of the initial lease.One case where it might work is employment related rentals.

This has led me to search for other methods of heating and ways to projects costs back to the tenant and in doing so I have narrowed the selection down to either converting to natural gas or installing a ductless heating AND COOLING system or systems.

I agree with the broker that you met with that your learning will be limited BUT you can sign up on broker's team as an assistant or something in that nature to learn the business.  

The tenants have been understanding & have just put out traps, baits, natural remedies, etc.
