Get a decent return on your money invested and on the job training.

But it was far better than when they were just tenants who have been trained to think they are pouring their money down a dry hole.There was less turnover rate.My monthly rental rates were much above the other properties in the area.I have a rule of thumb.

I was in the Navy, we had a 1 week money management class right after boot camp and another 1-2 hour training every year and it didn't make any difference. people's money habits are either ingrained while growing up as a child from their parents or relearned as an adult due to making bad decisions for several years.

Either way, I'm going to be economical, so I do not plan on going with anything high end, but I'm having a difficult time deciding between the two.Personally, I feel like commercial carpeting will provide the longevity I am searching for, but I do not want to make the place look cheap.

But I would be peeved that they don't have their own inspector; the fee should be minimal in that case because you're just paying for a clerk to file papers, and not for somebody who has some training and thus gets paid a bit more.

Distance from my location - I thought I should start with something that won't require more then 2 hours train, though I'm not planning to manage it myself but using a PM.I gathered all the cities around and scored them on a spreadsheet and that's how I started focusing into the city to find the right neighborhood.Again I'm really sorry for the green questions but I'm taking my first baby steps and your feedback is really valuable.Lior

I had my realtor pull comps for me as well, but the rentals pulled were across the train tracks in a different community and represented a totally different price range that would have given me a false sense of expectation for a higher rent even though they were literally on the other side of the train tracks and appeared to be in close proximity to the agent.

The property is close to train tracks, so some higher quality, sound minimizing windows will really help the rentablity of the property. 3.

I don't want to work as an agent, it's only meant for my own investing so no office space, training etc. needed, just want access to MLS and lock boxes.

Whole job groups will just disappear - taxi drivers, delivery truck drivers, long haul semi drivers, letter carriers, train drivers, etc.
