Hand out cards, hang fliers, drop by open houses, network with realtors, run a classified ad, create an internet presence or join your local chamber of commerce, offer something freeYou can also buy leads just to give yourself some practice.

The problem is that there is no incentive to make repairs and improvements to many units since such cash outlays will never justify higher rents, but it would improve equities and future market values.I really like seeing existing buildings being renovated and updated for affordable housing, especially for mixed use.

They are the folks that hardly ask any questions (if they ask any at all) and will practically give you their house just to be rid of it.

Even making substantial improvements to the landscaping - just b/c we live here and wanted to love where we live.Until the last couple months - we had a GREAT relationship with the landlord.

Hi y'all, My name is Kenny and I am currently taking real estate principles and real estate practice.

We are offering $150,000. with $20,000. down and owner carrying $130,000 @8% for 15 years with a balloon in 3 years.The improvements sit on 5 acres 2 blocks off a major state hwy and the town is the next stop in booming growth.

I addition to the great input provided, one practice that that I put in place that yielded great dividends (rent getting paid) was as soon at the rent was late I would schedule a "safe and clean" inspection so that I had a reason to get into the property and remind the tenant(s) that I was not going away.

Congrats for looking at improving your future at such a young age.

I think they are playing too many games with tricky lending practices, all in hopes of getting business.

How much have you seen your bottom line improve over standard rehab projects?
