Back yard landscaping is usually the biggest expense at $5-6k for artificial turf and rock, but doing this sets you apart from the others.

Rates are set to go down, although not as fast as hoped. 

Quote from @Ashley Mierez: Going into the new year my goal is make sure Im hitting all the points of a good deal so my investors wont have to think twice when I send something to them.

Our end goal is to be back in Redding in the next five years. 

My only goal is to have all the details clearly spelled out so we can adjust price and deadlines in a fair manner as things come up. 

A good rule of thumb is to have 3-6 months of expenses (mortgage, utilities, insurance, etc.) set aside per property for emergencies.

I just saw that Antonella Parra Gonzalez, a third-grader at Harris Elementary School in Gilbert Public Schools, recently received the Arizona English Learner Students Success Story Award.Here in Austin, many investors are asking me to set up searches in Eanes ISD, Round Rock ISD (that also cover some homes within the Austin city limits), and then of course Leander and Lake Travis ISD.

Setting up the listing really wasn't that difficult.

U have to understand the mind set of many people in these markets THEY PREFER to rent they dont want to own.. its not like someone on the Coasts in high priced markets where they have seen folk get wealthy just owning a few homes. and your not adding in Property tax and maintenance.. folks that are/were renters just dont have the same mind set when it comes to taking care of the property or the cash to do so.But until you try it and actually talk with those in the market there is no way of knowing that many of these folks simply prefer to be renters..

To set the scene: A cost seg study breaks your property into two important categories:1250 "real" property aka the building, foundation and other long life assets.1245 property aka anything that can be accelerated such as 5, 7, or 15 year property like carpets, cabinets, or other site improvements.
