If they are the PM that's different, if it's a one time shot at marketing your rental that could be way to much to ask for, rent at 450 bucks rent, 20 hours of driving time, 15 hours of showings, 7 hours of applications and interviews, 3 hours of contracting and coordination, could be 45 hours and 60 bucks in gas. $8.67 an hour!

I have been flipping in Denver for 4 years and that business has gone the way of the 8-track player (at least for me it has). Inventory is gone. Foreclosures have dropped off a cliff. I am not tied down and enjoy...

My purchase offer includes a seller-held mortgage maturing in one year, so I want to make sure my estoppel letter ensures that I can either terminate or evict existing tenants in a timely fashion.Thanks,Mike

I have painted itI went to remove it once and the wall was rough so left the paneling on and I covered it with heavy duty commercial wallpaperit was the $300+ a roll type I picked up for $10 bucks a roll(I bought it all)I also did a dining room that was panel I just covered top half of panel with the wall paper and left bottom like it was and added trim

You can get them for a couple of bucks.

Tenants don't have the money or time to do something like go to court for a couple hundred bucks.

That took about 5 minutes and will save me a few hundred bucks a year.

James, you may find it a little difficult to convince people you are mature enough to invest, but pull together an impressive investment package, be professional, be open to (and learn) from constructive criticism.Remember, Richard Branson started his career at 16.

Then you have untrained authors putting out "how to" books to make a few bucks, some wanabe gurus mixing kool-aid!

What you can do until your settlement comes and you have a few bucks is to get out there and meet as many investors as possible.
