The Greenville market is strong - high population and job growth - diverse economic base including manufacturing, logistics and transportation, medical and leisure & hospitality.

Sales prices have doubled in the last 9 years, inventory is ultra low, new construction is still not a factor, more on my YouTube channel, link in my bio.

You may have to send USPS certified or post on door stating rent increase beginning x date, mine usually includes an addendum extending lease term one year at x rate requiring signature.

You may never need it, but it's totally worth it when you do, so for us, worth including in our initial expenses. 

I've done some additional calcs and I'm going to need $110k net income (which includes all carrying costs) to break even. 

She found us a home that hit our specs (including a wonderful landlord allowing us to sublease) and charged us a finder’s fee of an entire month’s rent (18k).

That addendum also has provisions that allow the seller to do additional marketing on their own including their own yard sign, so I'm not sure what the fuss was about there - though I can tell you if you put a FSBO sign in your front yard agents driving by will blow your phone up trying to get a listing appointment with you and that's a whole other conversation.

Now that you've been in these investments for over 3 years (including how thing went at these properties/investments thru the pandemic). 

An attorney will still start with a boilerplate ( saving you time/fee) but can include all the "what if's" pertinent to your situation, family, etc.My 2 cents,Mike

Cost me 5k, the upgrades were not unreasonable, and the electrical work included safety improvements.
