Depending on how quickly we are ready to start working on the project I'm just wondering if I should do a cash for keys kind of deal in exchange for encouraging him to move out a little early and avoid any holdovers.

I don't know anyone on this board that could answer your question.

start with professional or nuce pics and a good listing. get vacation rental insurance and a reliable house cleaner and you're good to go. also make sure you line up back up cleaners in case they flake. also get coded door locks so guests can self check in yet not lose the key. is that what you meant?

There is still good money to be made in AZ, FL, GA, TX and other states, however, picking the right submarkets is key.

Having a larger emergency fund may be the key as you can take on more risk if you know you have 6 months of payments sitting there if you need it.  

I have a quick question I was hoping to get feedback on.My wife and I are considering getting into RE investing but as you all know, location is key.

@Russell Holmes, Mostly 24 hours straight across the board for me.  

I'm based in CA and just purchased two turn-key duplexes in the Milwaukee area.  

You could try cash for keys by offering them $1,000 or $2,000 to move, you might even be able to convince the seller to pay for this. 

I just have few friends who do real estate business) because I believe PM is the key thing in this issue, I don’t know what is their plan to betray me.
