I don't very often advise people to study real estate licensing education material, however doing so might help you see both the nature of a licensee's relationship as an agent working under a broker's license and the broker's relationship with principal currently if formerly under a listing contract.I'm not suggesting that you get your license, although you may find that something that is ultimately worthwhile in doing.

I'd also toss at least an 8% vacancy rate in the numbers.Run those numbers down against that $900/month section 8 voucher and I'm pretty sure you'll be making a nice chunk of change so long as you don't have to pay utilities to get the $900.

I am not familiar with this company but I will definitely check them out.It appears they utilize used shipping containers...a very interesting sustainability play.

They still have about a week to go with paint, and finishing materials like toilets, vanities, faucets, etc. to finish.

I would probably pay $1 ft for materials plus a few incidentals.

What he does is include utilities in the rent he charges, and has all the utility bills under his name and sent to a P.O.

Instead of waiting for your A grade property to use refined design styles, why not upgrade your property now with a slightly more expensive material, and save on the maintenance while possibly raising the status of your rental?

Unfortunately these projects often features the homes jammed up on the property lines with a complete obliteration of existing trees/landscaping features to make rooms for a monster house so it doesn't necessarily serve to 'upgrade' the neighborhood in many cases other than increased comps.In other areas I've seen a builder slowly accrue multiple lots of and develop them in a more tasteful manner with new construction that is architecturally consistent with the other new homes they've built adjacent and allowing for proper landscaping.I try to do everything I can to avoid complete teardown and rebuild, if I can utilize the existing foundation and utilities it is a huge cost savings both in construction and in paperwork and permiting.

However they just asked if they put all the labor could they subtract materials from rent?

Learn it all, don't go in with a preconceived idea that the material has to be applicable to RE as most won't be initially.It gives a big picture of management concerns in business, you'll probably look at examples from large corporations like GE or Ford and you'll look at small operations.
