I recently inquired about a rental property and whether I need to add a water softener since the residents don't get the best water.

@Natasha Norregaard I just refi’d my pri residence in league city using Truth Lending Services in Pearland TX.

But you want to be careful. 

You will need to know how many toilets and other fixtures dump into the tank.I would be very careful in regards to the information you get from plumbers and take your time.You probably need a pump that costs about $500.

In comparison to personal residences, investment properties may demand additional documentation and underwriting requirements from lenders; nonetheless, a credit score of 730 is generally regarded as acceptable and may qualify for advantageous loan conditions.

If you are wanting rentals who cares about up or down 10- 15% when you are earning 10- 15% net income. 

NH only really cares about tenants with no heat during the winter.

I have been a landlord and investor for over a decade AND also work as a senior/regional property manager so I feel like I see both sides and have some good insight on this- manage yourself if you have the time and fortitude to do so, you will make mistakes but it will pay off, get a real estate license (not hard to do plus you can sell and buy properties and get commission) and know the laws, be willing to do the research, NO ONE IS GOING CARE AS MUCH ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY AS YOU- that being said, not everyone wants to has the time ect or headache or likes asking for rent…FIND A MANAGER THAT ALSO IS A LANDLORD INVESTOR, I can’t tell you how many property managers I’ve tried training and that failed at our company because they just don’t get it from an owner or investor side, like “no tenant we aren’t going to come replace your stove again, no we aren’t going to clean your bathroom cause you didn’t , ability to analyze when to do maintenance and not, ability to explain to tenant owners POV, I tell every owner I am not telling you anything I haven’t done or I’d do my self, a lot of property managers are blue colar type workers and have never invested in their life and just done get it, 4 out of 5 property managers fail at my company because of this especially for single family homes, find a PM with speciality in SFH for your area, for example, a PM in Birmingham MI (upscale area) will fail in Detroit or lower end markets (but that’s were the best ROIs are)

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

With that said, it doesn't me it can't be something that the right person wouldn't be able to take care of.
