You want to be thorough and legal, for sure... but I am not sure there is an exact formula for any one lanldord... apart from the hard criteria like felonies and credit scores, it can be as much art as science.For your example above, don't forget your ad also can screen tenants by its term (think location, price, pet policy, amount, etc).

@Kyle Grimm - Congrats and thanks for sharing the good news with the BP community.Clearly, your ability to take steps to achieve the goal within the timeframe projected is remarkable.Additionally, this success highlights your tenacity, negotiating skills and people skills.Frankly, you are developing a level of trust and prominence in these neighborhoods, so that the sellers are confident enough to approach you about their sales.Good luck and best wishes with the advancement of your REI activities.

Transferring those management skills, I decided to pursue my passion in real estate.In my free time, I enjoy going to museums, catching up with friends, meditating, writing, reading, and discovering tea shops.Please reach me anytime via call, text, or email.

This is what these people do (just like you know depreciation) they know saws, tiles, paint, wires, shingles and really skilled people move with speed and efficiency that it is hard to match for the DIY weekender (again, finding the right ones is half the battle, as a conscientious DIY can do better than some poor contractors)...

I assumed a pay rate to myself of $30/hour and I typically hire semi skilled help for around $15/hr.

You will learn a ton of skills and information like this.Then you can move forward from there.- it's always good to see another Hoosier utilizing this great site!

@Jay HinrichsCan't duplicate talent, it's like stock brokerage or financial planning firms, all about human skill sets :)
