I just worked with an investor who had $5M in cash (he sold his tree-cutting business) and I was able to get him into 11 properties in AL and FL. 

Brian decided to sell his property and take the proceeds into his next primary, and I decided to rent my property out at a loss monthly.My loss isn't near $2k / month, but you may find a few reasons you weren't thinking about that would help impact your tough decision on renting or selling! 

Includes installation and demo...That said, I'd revise prices up about 20-30% since most of these responses were written...

If so what are some tips and tricks to keep things clean?

The first tenant came to me through Zillow, but as his lease winds down I am going to try to market to this demographic more directly.

, he will charge you just a few more dollar for what he makes at his job, and he would make a great job, because thats what he does all day.Good luck!

One of my clients around 10 years ago that grew up in San Jose CA, he informed me that his Uncle back home started buying affordable homes & lots that bordered areas that commanded a higher price.

Any tips?

One guy I saw turned 5 bedroom house to his room and took the 4 others and made it 8bedrooms and something like $50/night. 

Wow, thanks for all the amazing tips, especially for Judy Martinez's professional advice and detailed roadmap!!!
