Im based in NY so even if month to month if she's been there 18 months I would have to give her 60 or 90 (cant remember off top of head) notice to vacate unless she doesn't pay. 

Because the cosigner is not responsible for mowing the lawn or reporting maintenance issues, they have no rights to the rental, and I don't want to communicate with them about anything but the money. 

You can have handful of LLC to combine 2 to 3 property based on location and value of the property.Disclaimer: This is information purpose only and not be taken as legal advice.

I have onsite management, but I manage reservations and communications remotely (and I have a full time job, so I really need the software to keep me organized, not the other way around, haha!).  

For colleges with a large international student base, MTR can work because parents will stay longer, but for short-term and likely for UTA, short-term would work, but also would expose you to way more occupancy.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of MTRs (rooms and entire units) in the area just based on initial searches on Airbnb and Redfin, but I understand this isn't the only indicator of demand.

Quartz makes sense for a high end unit/ fancy neighborhood where you can and will attract tenants willing to pay more for them.Repainting is often a no brainer, but could be based on the current conditions as to whether or it is needed.I agree with Melanie on researching the washer/dryer comps. 

I use a lot of different cards based on the best categories on my spending for cash back/miles, but one under the radar for rental investors that gives 5% cash back on up to $2,000 spending per quarter on utilities category when chosen is the US bank cash+ card.I max out on utilities spending with the card every quarter.

We would GREATLY appreciate feedback from experienced investors on how best to start out on our REI journey.Ok Gabe, let's reverse engineer this a bit to get to a fact-based answer vs opinion or feelings. 

Once you begin to generate leads that fit their recent purchases/want to buy, run the numbers based on the ARV after repair value for after when they develop/fix n flip and subtract cost of build/repair, your assignment fee, and the original cost of the contract.
