Hi All,I have been renting my 4 bed 2 bath SFH for over two years and have had many troubles with the tenant(Initiated an eviction process ).

I wish you all the best in your investing journey!

Real estate investing is a long game.I wish you all the best.

I got my real estate license in my late 20's, kept updated on continuing education, but only activated the license after all my kids started school. 

I've never seen an "All Other Perils" deductible restricted to percentage of the policy.  

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Hi @Karen DiNapoliGood question.In my opinion: it's all about the cash flow, not necessarily about the taxes or the other expenses.So for example, I live in the Philadelphia area and in West Philadelphia the taxes are lower than they would be in the county outside the city where I normally invest.

It's about buying, fixing up, letting out, getting a new loan, and doing it all over again.

All contractors and all subcontractors need the SAME set of plans and it saves so much time not having to measure and re-measure.

What I mean is that your deal has to be awesome for someone to be willing to front ALL the money - and for that service you will pay ”a pretty penny” as the phrase goes.
