There was plenty of sticker shock for sure, and there’s no denying that it’s expensive.

Think buying last year’s model automobile and getting $10K off the sticker Price.

This unfortunately is very common for inexperienced landlords to encounter.

@Brian Foote It seems like your misc number is high considering you have accounted for a lot of expenses you will encounter.  

Keep on testing at incremental sections... until you encounter the water flow dropping.

I have a question to add to this that I’ve encountered, that is how do I buy an investment property and put it into my LLC’s name?

I encounter many whose clients I feel sorry for, and some who make me wonder how they find their way home at night.Like any service-based business, a very small percentage of agents truly excel at what they do.

I assume this won't be the first time I encounter this, and perhaps it's nice to offer tenants this option. 

I've been living in my home for 7+ years and I've seen the neighborhood change with some property owners renting out their homes instead of selling them.In that span of time, I have dealt with and encountered a slew of issues from many of the renters - the noise ordinance issue being the biggest complaint, based on many of the culprits blasting loud music from their cars at all hours of the day and night, with no regard for the time of day and who they were disturbing.Yes, I have called, the police - along with other neighbors, but being that I have lived the closest - with the culprits either living beside me, across from me and now adjacent to my bedroom windows as the others have either moved or stopped.The other issues have been lessened, like the previous renters shooting as they have moved, but all of this tension has been building.

Well... what I’m encountering is that if I take the leap?
