I can usually save a decent amount, especially if I keep eyes out for deals and buy when these items are priced most competitively and not necessarily when I need them.Using the bathroom remodel apartment as an example, I will spend $1,500 more per unit than most of my competitors who renovate in the same market but that $1,500  (5% of my apartment renovation budget) gets me  oversized soaking tub in most units, nicer tiled bathrooms, counter tops that don't look like every other apartment in the neighborhood & a step up in appliance package and better quality fixtures.

It's best to get licensed so you will have a competent broker, a second set of eyes on the transaction who will help keep you out of trouble. 

Just keep an eye on the community of how many rentals come up, how much they charge and how fast they fill.

Always glad to offer a critical eye, especially when it comes to the financials!

In the meantime, I'll be keeping an eye on the local market (Hebron, Florence, Burlington, KY) for trends or rate cuts to make cash flow a possibility. 

If you use the agent finder tool you’ll get me, so save yourself the time there.As far as the municipality, most of my folks are keeping a close eye on Clay, Cicero and North Syracuse.

As the the lines get blurred on who is interpreting the definition of these terms correctly, the desire from the owner to update a property that from the naked eye needs work should be absolutely heard.

You will get cross eyed trying to do it yourself.

Finding the true appreciation rate for specific towns can be a bit tricky, but you can start by looking at historical sales data, talking to local realtors, or even checking out some online tools that track market trends.If the condos you’re eyeing aren’t meeting the 2% rule, it might be worth reconsidering or at least getting a more detailed breakdown of potential long-term appreciation and other benefits, like tax advantages or rental demand growth in the area.
