:Roaches being the main concern Either spray the property yourself, you can get the stuff cheap enough, and go round once a month with a sprayer for three months and then back it off to every three months.

We're also considering getting certification as home inspectors in order to round out our knowledge and provide another alternative income source. 

I agree with the person in the article who said if you accept year-round campers, then you are in the landlord business.

@Jill Patton I used Cozy for my last round of applications.  

We are 700k financed and currently in the process of raising a bridge round of 500k to get us to a Series A round of about 5 mil.

Let's rounded to $400/mo/unit to simplify the numbers.That is an income of $1600*12/yr from rent ~= $19,200Now, expenses:Maintenance: $9,600/yr (50% rule)Taxes: Around 1% ( lucky New Mexicans): $1,700/yrMortgage Payment ([email protected]%): $763/mo ~= $9,150/yrInsurance: Around $1,000/yrPossible Cashflow per Year: 19200 - 9600 - 1700 - 9150 - 1000 = (-$2,250)A negative cashflow does not look so good, but here are 2 opportunities to increment it:1) Increase rents.

You typically won't start seeing significant response rates until after your 3rd or 4th round of mailers. 

@Marcus Jackson House has potential, but looking at recent SOLD comps in the neighborhood the average sold price a square is sitting at a round $96 ($96 x 1278 square feet = $123,000 ARV). 

I am from California and have a couple of properties here but am finding it's really tough to find anything this time 'round that will cash flow.

Maybe take them off this round, but add them back on in later rounds.
