I told her to find me the property in my budget with the greatest potential for value add.

MF hedges against market shifts and cap ex. also doors are a multiplier X so if i have 100 units under 1 roof and 1 of my tenants moves out and trashes the place well thats only 1% of my expense.. as opposed to 1 SFR which would be 100% of my expense.. the only aspect I could potentially agree with is the liquidity.. but lets start off with IF you are investing in holding real estate then you SHOULD be holding LONG TERM. so liquidity is only a tertiary calculation.

I know many of you will immediately remove all trees from your properties because of the potential for problems going forward.

How does this affect a possible future sale?

But what if you have limited funds, even after budgeting, saving, etc, and will continue to have limited funds for the foreseeable future? 

A high number of available rentals in an area can indicate oversaturation, which might lead to increased competition among landlords and potentially lower rental prices.

Hey Jean, no hard rule to this but with properties I've sold, I always think it's best to communicate with your tenants to get ahead of any potential issues.1) Potential buyers will likely need to walk the property, so you'll have to schedule with your tenants.2) They might see the house on Zillow, Redfin etc and think "Am I going to get kicked out?

I would first find a market that is suitable for you and showing signs of potential market growth.

All you need to do is stay consistent with the late charges, the communication, and potential penalty's.

In the future, in a couple years, we hope for something in Portugal.
