@Derek Askew Great question — you may want to look into a service that offers a nice portfolio of tools to make managing your own rental super easy (that includes tools to list your unit, screen tenants, create digital leases, collect rent online and manage maintenance requests).

If the masonry is too ugly, then paint the brick with the correct preparation and quality paint.

And do we get to place new tenants (after screening) or your properties always come with existing tenants?

I'll include a screen shot of all the number crunching but this is what we are working with. 

Finding properties on good streets in areas close to restaurants, retail and shopping, where you'll attract quality tenants is key.

After the house is occupied, the best, most cooperative tenants may be willing to show it to replacement tenants that you screen if you make that part of your agreement when the initial tenants being leasing.

Your tenant is also responsible for all your costs associated with finding and screening a new tenant.

They are much more strict on the quality of the home.

It all depends on location and quality of the golf course.One of the great aspects of a golf course in terms of depreciation, is that a very large portion (sometimes up to 60-80%) is actually land improvements, which depreciate over 15 years as opposed to 39 years.

I know this does not always equate to quality, but I'm wondering why properties are so cheap in the area?
