Here are two strategic recommendations:1) Learned about Stepped up Basis.

I’ve been to one REIA probably a month or two ago.

Recommend only one person notifies him and not two.  

My wife and I love visiting NoCal every year or two to explore wineries.

Is your FICO poor, or the loan amount tiny?

Figure a few grand to paint rooms, replace carpet in a room, deep clean and spruce the property, replace a fixture or two, etc.If you have to replace your resident annually the $9600 total income will get a gut punch.The true value of the higher-end neighborhoods is residents know if they move out of the home they have it's a challenge to find another, especially if they have been there a few years and have a competitively rewarding rent rate.All this really is is basic economics...sell ten custom widgets for $1000 or 100 standard widgets for $100 each.

We've had up to +/- 15% applied to a whole month.We cluster all of our units in groups to use group occupancy features + make it easy to manage (the groups have half a dozen to two dozen units each).It's also possible you've over customized with too many rules impacting the rate.

I am moving out of the house in June and intend to rent the other two bedrooms to two additional tenants, unrelated to the first tenant.

I have 12-doors and I'm closing on a new duplex next month.Ultimately, the market you choose will depend on your goals.Looking for cash flow and lower entry price points?

This week it was announced that my job site will be permanently closing its doors within the next couple years.
