I've sold quite a few rentals by owner, but on principal, not to save commissions.I would recommend having your lead paint (if pre 1978) and condition disclosures filled out and at the ready.

UBER appreciation Texas does not come close to being as good as investment as CA under those conditions.

At least from what I have seen.. there is a reason they are in the condition they are in.

This paying of rent condition does not contain any ambiguity.

The rents are at about $2800 currently, but market prices show I could raise them $3600 or more - one issue is whether the current tenants will leave (they are not under any leases).I got the inspection done, and there are 4 major things I need to get fixed.1) There are 2 chimneys in terrible condition.

Modern major systems (roof, A/C, plumbing, electrical) will stay in better condition longer than in older houses.

Hi Laura ,That will depend on you overall financial picture and investment goals, and the market conditions in the area.

Some take commercial breaks and pitch stuff like hard money lenders, business credit, virtual assistants, landlord services, deal partnering, websites, marketing services, home security devices, etc.

After closing we had our contact go visit the house ytoo see what condition it was in.

I found a triplex for $109,000, with lots of potential, however due to it's condition financing is not available.
