@Collin Schwartz very impressive.

An example of this is I had one trash company that collected the same three containers for $90 less than the in place trash removal company. $90/month X 12 = $1080 increase in NOI, at a 10% cap rate that small change increases the value of that property by a whopping (1080/10%=$10,800)!

Even though rental properties can be somewhat passive, there are still things to keep an eye on, like collecting rent, making sure utilities get paid, ensuring property management is doing their thing, etc.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

I do not want sales agents in my market to believe I am expecting a fee each time I purchase a property and go out of my way to make it known to the broker community that they will represent me and collect their fee if they bring me a deal.

Yes, unlikely, but there is a chance to collect. - They have a working relationship with the court personnel, which always helps. - They know the process cold, so shouldn't make a newbie errors. - They are arms-length. 

Some impressive features including extensive listing/syndication and state specific guidance provided such as max security deposit.RentRedi is a flat fee for the most part and has some cool features like pre-qualification and integration with QuickBooks.

To avoid actually collecting money every week the lease agreement stated that the term was week to week, but if you paid in advance for 4 weeks worth of rent on the 1st of the month, you would receive the remaining days of the month at the discounted rate of being free. 

I’d love to hear some perspectives from more experienced investors on what you think about the info below:$75k for a 5bd 3 ba manufactured home that rents out each room for $500/monthPros:Reliable tenant paymentsCheap purchase price relative to income generatedPotential for ~16% CoC ROICons:Long distance investment (requires property manager)Month-to-month leases per bedroom (& no deposits collected)Located in Utica, MS – not a thriving market for rentalsManufactured home – not sure this type of home will build equityUnsure what kind of tenants live here Hey Molly!

I'm under the impression that its ran similar to single family homes and like cap rates for the large multifamily.
