Brian Hoyt Absolutely no regrets – wasted emotion.

Before purchasing an income property, pay careful attention to the financial statements and remember to factor in a property manager which will charge between 8 - 10%.If you are close to retirement, I may consider investing in a duplex where you can move to when you are ready.

My question is: is it legal to charge me 2 months additional rent if the unit is re-rented within 2 weeks of me leaving?

Then explain that you will not charge a security deposit but you will still issue a bill to her with charges if any apply and if it is not paid you can and will take legal action.

They sent me several cylinders no-charge to repair, but that doesn't help me after I have had to pay to drill out the locks and break my tenants in, arrgh...

This is a business, and while having morals and doing the right thing are important, numbers are the key, not emotions.

If he weren't charging himself to write the report, he wouldn't need a business license or any other license.He can't do this with an appraisal.Btw, if anyone needs any home inspections done in Georgia, give me a call, as I am a home inspector...but only for today...tomorrow I'm going to be a bartender

, and of course don't become so mentally invested in it that you are reluctant to change it or even completely scrap it and rework it as you learn more.The other tip I have is to be smart with your money in life, and make sure your brain always makes the decisions and not your emotions.

Do NOT get in over your head, start small, take baby steps, learn the business before you start risking more then you have to lose.Let me know if you need help, I dont charge haha.

Around here PM's charge 10% of collected rents plus half a month to fill a vacancy.
