Offering a rent-free period helps the seller stabilize, but what happens if they still can't afford rent when the time comes?

I could quickly determine if I wanted to offer a discount or not.What I don't like is Pricelabs can swing pricing for certain nights by over $200 overnight.

I'm planning to put in my first offer on my first rental on a SFH in Kansas City in the next day or two.$140k offer8% interest rate20% down8% management fee5% vacancy5% maintenance 5% cap exI haven't gotten insurance costs yet but it's been suggested that I plan for $2k per year. 

Pro Tip: Ask an insurance agent what your rate will be before you make that offer.

A successful rental property should offer positive cash flow, meaning your rental income should exceed your monthly expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc.).To find the right tenants, ensure the property is priced competitively within the local rental market.

Investing in Wisconsin and Illinois is a great move—both states offer solid opportunities for multifamily and single-family rentals.If you’re looking to connect with like-minded investors or agents, I’d recommend joining local real estate meetups or REIA groups in the areas you’re targeting.

Hi Matt,Both Ohio (Cincinnati/Dayton) and Texas (Houston) offer great opportunities for BRRRR, but the impact of location depends on cash flow, appreciation, and competition. 

@Emily ShinHouse hacking a multi-family property is an excellent way to start investing in real estate, especially in a market like Columbus, Ohio, which offers affordability and growth potential.

You can offer whatever you think is appropriate and message the seller with your reasoning.

(are you offering appliances)Is it with a pm/realtor or a dedicated pm?
