In this example, let’s say their kid flushed some objects down the toilet that requires a plumber to fix.  

Of course, supply and demand can help drive the rents also.The data from all the sites might be a little soft if there are few rentals in a 1/2 mile radius, so it really helps to be objective when you compare your rental with others listed on various sites (zillow, trulia, hot pads, etc.)Good Luck Jacob and welcome to the clan!

The objective of the question is to expand my reach and get the most out of the money that I could that I may not realize or have experience in.

What are your primary investment objectives? 

Buy, fix, and flip…buy at wholesale and sell to another investor…buy, rehab,and rent…I think I’m on the right track…if not please let me know lol-Identify your timelines-Do my math…by learning how to use the variety of calculations available toevaluate and select real estate investment properties for you which will help me tolocate suitable properties and help analyze your return on investment-Do my market homework by understanding your objectives such as whatneighborhoods are hot right now…what areas are up-and-coming…where are thebest schools…where are the new jobs located…help identify those opportunitiesand present properties for you as an investor to consider-Know your goals to help identify suitable properties and look for ways to add valueto my services by understanding your pain points and suggesting resources like doyou need a good handyman…Estimates from painters…Flooring quotes…A taxadviser…Be your go-to source for these referrals-And finally, I have joined some real estate investor groups through “Meetup.com”because I believe honestly that this is the best way to find prospective clients andat the same time learn what investors in my area are looking for and give meinsight on potential properties.

After much inspection, my next objective was to ask myself, "how can I add massive value for very little $" This house had a finished attic, that was primed to become two bedrooms.

@Vivian Pena It seems to me that you need to spend some time clearly defining what your investment goals and objectives are.

I will  or have built a team in FLA--CPA, loan specialist, realtor, have family in the area--will also seek a good property manager and handyman. 

The objective behind this post is to develop a strategy through general discussion in order to take my next deal head on.I am currently deployed overseas and return back to the US in the June-July time frame.I currently have a three flat and a two flat, both of which were house hacks.

In short, I want to create enough passive income (as quickly as possible) in order to become financially free; my core objective is to continue and fund the social work I have done in the past through social entrepreneurship ventures, and enact my life mission statement of increasing the standard of living for as many people as possible.
