I'd like to see purchase price, gross rents, operating expenses, and any other fees that are involved?

If you are operating outside of your local market then modify the process.Until you know what the 'customer' wants you will not be able to find it.

Positive cash flow is determined by subtracting ALL of the operating expenses and the mortgage from the gross rents.

Your cost will vary depending on who you use, and whether or not you operate as a business.

Operating expenses run 45% to 50% of the gross rents for residential rental properties.

It might be that they are operating over the line and it will be a matter of time before it blows up.

But I am also a big proponent of Buyers Agents and I certainly recommend their use.Learning the arena in which you plan to operate is paramount.

I’d also like to learn more about starting a timeshare operation, resort or not, laws, upsides and down.

A contract can not be enforced if the act is illegal.A good attorney may advise a different way of operating so that you are a principal in any deal you do.John CoreyPS.

Personally, I *hate* carpet in rentals... hate cleaning it, double hate replacing it-- so we get rid of it asap in all our units-- ceramic tile if the rents will support it, refinish hardwoods if they're hiding underneath old carpet, sometimes even laminate (not the cheapest stuff... doesn't hold up to water).
