The guarantee on the other hand would be a red flag to be.

@Jared Vidales while I dont know first hand I do read BP A LOT, I've seen many people posting problems getting rid of flooded properties, both selling and renting.

They told me he should have immediately taken steps to mitigate damages, i.e. dry out the carpet, walls etc. so he might have a bit of a battle on his hands with them. 

I'm currently in the process of implementing rent increases at one of my complexes and they are relatively $150 below market, so I'm doing $50 per year that will single handedly increase the property valuation by  $320k over the next 3 years ($106k yearly).

Good Morning,I have a unique situation on my hands.

MLS is obviously the most competitive place and it's hard to find "deals" Wholesalers are good if you find a good one (this goes hand in hand with #4 since a lot of investors would prefer to wholesale a deal if they don't have enough funding instead of just letting the deal go).Finally you can start marketing yourself.

But on the other hand, a rising tide raises all boats so I'm sure there will be a residual effect on areas like Oaklyn /Bellmawr/Collingswood.

I like to be 100% hands on - a broker may be more interested in sealing the deal and collecting his commission than finding you the best tenants. 

I let my tenants know that renter's insurance must be documented before I hand over the keys. 

DSTs are 1031 eligible and can work great for people looking to avoid tax on their sale and just want hands off real estate plus the income.
