Property management comes at a cost but it's so nice not to have to worry about the tenant calling us on a weekend or if we're out of town, because of an issue.As many others have mentioned, we all understand your eagerness to get started.

Faucets, doors etc or your weekends, vacations and family times will be ruined. 

I love charleston.My husband and I own two properties in summerville.I am actually flying out there next weekend to go check on my properties and see if we can find 2 more.

Hello BP Nation,I did a little driving for dollars over the weekend and found 3 vacant homes, I attached 3 notes and today I got a call back on one.

I hope to finish it this weekend.

The day I told her was the day my family got together for Christmas, she posted it on Craig's list and asked if I would be available to show it.

So I did more networking and more yellow letters over the Christmas holidays. 

Having some money on hand would be recommended in case you have an emergency, like needing a hot water heater replaced over night during a weekend. i would recommend having at least $5,000 per property in reserve, build up to that with the income you would make from the property.

Think about, higher rent homes are typically more stable families that don't up and move during Christmas.

cuz with my new job i've resolved to only do commercial rental in the USA if even continue investing at all in this blessed country that sadly lately seems in a constant state of proxy war =LOk will 'nail and mail' Sec deposit to Nov 15-Dec 14 was their proposal since claimed broke and made like were moving out then Christmas came and they paid rent instead to buy more time (covering dec 15-jan 10 since they were short of $200), At the time i was busy wrapping things up for the year, holidays, family, job relocation and so left things to be dealt with now.
