I know understanding what a good deal is is important to attract the investors but once I start working with them, what are the most important things from your perspective?

Would love to team up and increase value of such cooperation.

For the right player, in the right deal, I found this as an attractive alternative.

A late fee is basically an increase in rent:) Regarding renewing the lease, would carefully go over the payment history to determine the risk.

I’m attracted to markets with:•Lower property costs•Landlord-friendly laws•Lower property taxesHowever, I’m unsure about the best market for a beginner like me, aiming to invest in multi-family properties with a budget of $50K.

While it might take time to establish these connections, persistence, networking, and a proactive approach can increase your chances of finding private lenders for your first property investment.

I consider myself more personable than your prototypical accountant, and want to transition into the world of RE deal making, where I could interact with others, and utilize my capital to assist me in generating some passive income, slowly increasing my portfolio to the point where I do not need to work the 9-5 and prioritize spending time with family. 

While acknowledging this issue, my primary concerns lie with the potential ramifications on increased property taxes and insurance rates for my properties.

The increase rent by more than 17% appeares to be to very unlikely. 

In this example, in 7 years, $1,149 ($1,000 increased at 2%/Yr) will only buy as much as $816 will today.The ugly truth is that no matter how many properties you own in a location where rents do not outpace inflation, you will sooner or later be looking for a job.What causes rents to increase?
