Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

After reading this last post, I now know my skepticism was highly warranted. 10% management fee?

Finally, when using these "self service" options like Zillow, Rentredi, etc. you are at the mercy of "their process" and it can become cumbersome.

There are some key limitations that are important:Passive losses can only offset passive income.Up to $25,000 in passive rental losses may be deducted against non-passive income if the investor actively participates and their modified adjusted gross income is below $100,000.Unused passive losses are carried forward to future tax years.Here’s an IRS article that further discusses the rules: https://www.irs.gov/publications/p9251031 ExchangesThis strategy allows investors to defer capital gains tax when they sell a property if they invest the sale proceeds into a “like-kind” property.

When should landlords waive background checks to support Undocumented Immigrants as I am unaware of services that will produce say a criminal background check outside of the United States?

Just a heads up.So you calculated out you need  $6 million worth of apartments to hit your goal.A commercial loan may require 20% to 30% down in cash, cash reserves, working capital, and closing costs.You will also need earnest money cash.The lender may also require certain repairs to be done Shortly after the loan is made.The lender may also require the Property to be stabilized as far as occupancy percentage is concerned, leaving little on the bone as far as sweat equity.Good Luck!

Hey guys, I live in Phx,Az , single no debt what so ever, in car sales business (self employed)and monthly I make anywhere from $3k to $10k after everything, experian score is 640, im guessing with that fair score and no proof of income Im looking at a crappy interest rate and big down payment on at least -$300k, here in Az anything lower than that its because it needs re habing and to be honest i dont have no experience whatso ever in that field and dont want to end up in a money pit.

I moved to the US in Oct 2018, 1 month after renting it out., but my plan was to keep adding 1/2 single family's a year.

A median single family home is $570,000A median townhome is $377,000A median condo is $312,000 (not a fan of these for investing purposes in our market, a whole other discussion)More quick stats:Homes went for asking price, on average this monthHomes sat about 20 days on marketSellers has 10 showings before going pendingThere are about 3,000 homes for sale, which is up 20% over this time last yearWhat I'm seeing is takes about 2-3 offers on average to get a property under contract (all depends on your aggression and strategy of course, location, etc)Overall, buyers have a lot more sway than the last few years.

I moved here from Florida after seeing the expansive growth in the Columbus market.
