While vetting is essential, I agree that tenants (all tenants) do come with risk. 

Just wondering if this is all normal? 

So all things considered, the 5% and 6% returns don't sound terrible to me, especially given the costs of selling and where the market is in general (high prices and relatively high interest rates).The 1.5% on the other hand is pretty tough to swallow.

Hi folks, this has been all over the news and social media so I hope it's not a surprise to anyone but I just wanted to cover all the bases.Due to legislation spearheaded by the RI attorney general earlier this year, there is a new RI rental registry in place that requires all rental unit owners (even short term rentals) to register every rental property and rental unit in the state of RI, by October 1, 2024.The website is www.rentalregistry.ri.gov and you will also need to upload a current lead certificate ("Certificate of Lead Conformance") for each rental unit.The demand is so high that lead inspectors are currently booked out into November and December, so I hope you already have lead paint certs for all your units.

You might try apartments.com, Trulia, Homes.com, Redfin,  From a Real Estate Broker Perspective, Zillow generates 80% of all traffic at this point in time.

Or are all these people posting in Garcia's mentorship program right? 

@Steven Jaszcz they all have monthly meetings.

Hi all,Currently interested in a SFH which I think is listed at a decent price (450k in a ~700-800k neighborhood).

Thanks for all the advice, guys.

I would not, if it were me, let my parents sink all their free and clear equity of their primary into a fix and flip.
