You will have holding costs along the way with repairs, maintenance, taxes, etc.

I've heard nothing but complaints from customers AND their franchise agents reegarding the quality of their 800-number service center. 

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

This property is ready to welcome its next owner with no repairs or updates needed.

Compared to other services that might offer lower-quality leads or require higher upfront costs/paywalls, Prime Tracers also give you free lead credits on sign up so you can actually see the results before you commit to a purchase.

For residential multifamily properties (1 - 4 units), can you use a home warranty to take care of the repair costs associated with rentals?

They offer a $10K repair fund to fix damages in addition to SD plus warranty for appliance repair etc.I have no say in whom they choose to move in, whether there are animals, limit on # of occupants etc. they reserve right to inspect property so i have no idea if they can tell me to remodel, paint etc.does this make sense i have a vacancy coming up in October (bad rental timing).

@Gene PanicciaManagement fees vary, but it's not uncommon for a PM to charge fees for managing tenant-paid utilities or coordinating repairs.

Additionally house tenants bring more of their own appliance, like refrigerator, washer and dryer; which means tenants are responsible for repair and replacement of their own appliances. 

The combination of families looking for more space, good schools, and a quieter lifestyle has been a big driver of demand.For my investments, I’ve noticed:High tenant quality: Families or professionals relocating to suburbs like Naperville and Wheaton tend to stay longer, which helps with stability.Increased competition: It’s definitely tougher to find good deals, especially in top-tier school districts.
