I have purchased the audio version of that book and will be listening to it on a long drive tomorrow. 

I did not pay, as I thought the free is more than enough.I do have to say that there is probably a 50% flake factor once you set the appointment, and the potential tenant does not show up.

Anything over a 30 minute drive I'm not interested in holding , unless it's a multifamily that would work with management . 

Hello, my name is Nouel looking to partner up with a Wholesaler in Miami, I just moved here and I’ve been driving for dollars everyday and I have a lot of leads that I’m willing to JV.

I know it's quite a drive but the community I work with has a wide range of like minded amazing people.

Taxes, IRS, other factors may still hold, and truth is, I don't trust the government office to provide full color on title.  

Currently, the people that I have polled have went 80 20 against saying they will vet their own clients and that it would drive away more potential customers than bring them in.

Since the property management company charges first month’s rent placement fee for a new tenant, how should I factor this in with my Cash-on-Cash return - do I also lump it into cash needed?

I turn into a pumpkin around 9 and would still have to drive back to Rockland County.

Some benefits I have noticed while househacking in my triplex:- I am at the property daily and can stay up on any maintenance and issues without having to remember to drive by or check in with a property manager- Rent collection is as simple as a door knock.- Tenants generally will be less inclined to try any funny business because they know you are right next door (or above/below them)- It's more conducive for learning as you go.- More favorable loan and insurance terms for an owner occupied property.There are also downsides such as:- Less privacy- Blurring of the landlord vs neighbor relationship- Can be harder to be the "bad guy" on things because you see your tenants often.
