You can also write off mileage for looking for your next rental as well, providing you are looking in the same asset class and general geographic area of where you already invest.  

So our first property is with the PM and I am not thrilled with the description his team came up with.

@Michael McKay the cost per lead and CTR varies drastically from one case to another because each geographic area is totally different.It depends on the area a lot, the branding, the situation of the market, etc...

I have never been to Illinois so I cannot give you any geographic options.  

The layout is weird (see below for description).

"Apex Home Services" Your company culture remains hidden.If you choose a descriptive name like, "Quality Home Services" it lends to the conception that you do quality work.You can also choose a memorable company name.

Area - Decide on the geographic area you want to operate in.2.

I would then take my shadow plat to the tile company I would buy title insurance on each individual lot and then the assessor would pick up the new legal descriptions and for about 200 a lot I had a full blown subdivision.. this is what my dad did as well for 20 some years.. its fun no competition and big money if done right.now in PDX we call them lot confirmations and its public knowledge  There was some huge money made south of Monterey Carmel area  (Big Sur)  were LA dudes used the same theory and would buy say a 400 acre ocean side track of land that could only have one home and end up with 8 legal lots under it.. selling each lot and this is back in the 80s for 500 to 1 million each..

Now if you think Destin is: ripe for appreciation, a good geographic hedge, etc. that's a different story.

(I don't know anything about this property - I just made up an address but as luck would have it, it did come back to an out of state owner lol.I just moved to Palm Beach county from the Tampa Bay area after being in that market since 93, and plan to use what I learned in that ultra competitive market to tear it up down here.Property Detail Location Address 3280 LAKE OSBORNE DR 211 Municipality LAKE WORTH Parcel Control Number 38-43-44-29-17-003-2110 Subdivision MURRY HILLS APT BLDG CONDS 1 TO 23 IN SECTION 29-44-43 Official Records Book 27909 Page 1444 Sale Date OCT-2015 Legal Description MURRY HILLS APT BLDG NO 3 CONDOMINIUM APT 211 Owner Information Owners GOLDSWORTHY KATHLEEN M & TIMOTHY H JOINT GOLDSWORTHY KATHLEEN M TR & GOLDSWORTHY TIMOTHY H Mailing address 5529 LAKE MENDOTA DR MADISON WI 53705 1248
