Both of these programs pay less than the employees regular pay.  

You'll want to keep money in reserves in the event that one of your rentals cannot wash it's own face (evictions, excessive repairs or damages, etc.)

We regularly offer debt transactions on a P&I basis but have never offered amortization on a deal thus far and are curious as to whether or not that would increase the appeal on a 5-year investment. 

When I did hire a lawyer due to a tenant problem they had me send two of the exact same letters, one by regular mail, and one return receipt where you get that green card back. 

Sorry to hear this, however,  it's very common for them to go up if there hasn't been a recent sale and your county/city office doesn't do regular assessments/updates. 

@Lian L.This being a rental I wouldn't do much, but power wash the brick, change out the brown door to match the white one, and tear out all the landscaping and either cement it or pave it and put a couple of chairs and a little table there depending on your type of tenants. 

Hi Everyone,My husband owns a handyman business and in the last week we have gotten text messages (which are not uncommon for our customers), however the 3 texts I am referring to are scams and I just wanted to share with other contractors so that you are aware.Each of the 3 texts started out asking about a specific service our company offers such as one was hardwood floor install, and the third pressure washing, don't remember what the second one was without looking.The first one gave me a red flag when I asked where they found out about our company when they gave me a website our company is not listed on, but I played along to see where they were going with this.

Like many of you, I work in a field which keeps me in an office setting with a regular 8-5 schedule (with the commute, it is more like 7-6).

Most regular banks like chase and bank of america will not count this income from the other units until you have two years of history as claiming the income on your taxes.

Maybe you can even find expert investors in your area and just shadow them on a regular basis.
