In my market a home one street over may be worth $300k and the next street the same home because its a busy street or there is on street parking or the rest of the homes are not as nice will be only worth $200k.

The houses are on a dead end street with an alley behind them, and there was a pretty sizable homeless camp set up back there, mostly because there were some empty lots owned by the city and not much traffic.

I would be very careful with properties between the main street and IBS bridges.

Upgraded windows are visible from the street and it might generate more interest from potential tenants.

Whether it was due to their ignorance of RE (like they're just guys off the street who read a blog about RE and think they can therefore wholesale to get rich quick ) or they just wanted to throw a crap deal onto someone because they're a straight up con-man.

I am confident based on comps on the street I could bump up rent to 1500-1600.  

They didn't know or care what we were doing when we were playing outside for hours until the street lights came on.  

If you own a property at 123 Main Street in 123 Main Street, LLC, but you want to manage it with your separate property management company, Property Management, LLC, then Property Management, LLC must be a part owner of the property (i.e., a member of 123 Main Street, LLC).  

They are a big company, appeared well run, and assured me that because of their volume that their services fees would be lower than street value.  

This way there are extra funds in case of delays or needed architects plans or city mandated extra work like Wired smoke detectors or running a camera through the drain to the street that was not in the budget or time schedule.
