I am a new investor that currently owns one rental property in Northampton.

Has anyone had experience with either option and can share insights on rental yields, appreciation, management challenges, or any other considerations I might be missing?

At my high point I had 250 rental homes in Northern Calif.1.  

I am "on paper" and considered to be the owner.No rental money will be asked to be paid to me as the family member is paying the mortgage.

I am getting ready to purchase my first rental property, and am going through the process of what I want my leases to look like.

I have read The Book on Managing Rental Properties, (and have another book on the way along with preparing to get my real estate broker lisence).

They find and fix the deals and we sign the checks.The idea was amazing for people whose time is completely eaten up by our employers, looking for a way to create retirement with rental income.However, that is not at all what he did.In reality, he found the crappiest oldest homes ( more like death traps), that no other knowledgeable investor would touch, and upsold them to us for $20-50K more than they were worth, lied about the numbers, and charged us for repairs he never did.

I’m Jason Bu and I live in Miami, Florida. Been looking into buying either an apartment down here or a house or multi-family in a city like Titusville or Fort Myers. 

How much do you ask for the liability coverage to be when you ask your tenants to get rental insurance?

I disagreed based on my personal journeyI didn't have the money to invest in real estate, like buying a rental or even doing a fix and flip, my credit was horrible, and I could only saved $125 a monthSo I started wholesaling, and I was able to create a bunch of cash in 12 months and become great at finding deals.Then, I decided to start doing fix and flips, then rentals later on.I didn't come into the business to make quick cash.
