It's an online-based MLS broker that was a big hit in the UK.

On top of that you can earn additional income selling properties.

I've been looking at a lot of properties online and one of 2 things usually happens: either the seller over estimates the property (overstates price and rental rates around the area), or it's a 3rd party/wholeseller who I have to refresh their memory about the property.

Biggerpockets http://get.biggerpockets.com/forms/index/ has leases available, you can also look up online places such as legal zoom, law depot, and others.

We can measure the roof online and get specs.

Hi BP,For those who rent out to students.. is there a "best" time to post and start advertising your listing online, and a time I should definitely avoid?

We would be depending on the rental income to pay most of the mortgage/taxes/insurance, but are concerned that Galveston may be too saturated with similar properties and that we might have a hard time getting enough renters to earn that income.We'd love to hear from others in the area who host STR property.

So you would def have them do the application online and fee.

Depreciation elections are based on a whole list of items such as projected future passive income, current level of other earnings, anticipated exit date (if you've shared that), etc.Her reasoning of "more in professional fees" makes no sense.
