Fortunately I am going to be able to support myself even if I couldn't rent the property right away.One thing I clearly underestimated though was the quality of tenants.

Kris- it's Ashland area - downtown location- mile from commuter rail- 6 miles from rt 9- 30 min to Boston- the apartments are in pretty good shape - some more updated then others - the tenant quality is a C at best... but the units are small 1 Bedrooms so I've been hesitant to put too much work into them other then general maintenance...

This I get from 20% down at 5%, which ends up being $12,454 per year.This doesn’t calculate the cleaning fees associated with each stay, which is in the $100 range here on Maui, so keep that in mind.But the fee charged I would assume cover itself depending on the unit.Also, if you did a vacation rental by owner online, most companies are around the 3% of gross, or $400 per year that you would also have to deduct from profits.

They are thought-leaders of the industry, so I'd bet long on the quality of the event.

If there's broken glass and they didn't clean it up, then you need to get in there and do so to ensure that they can't hurt themselves -- don't wait another day/week/month -- get it done.

Renters refused to spend their money on what is clearly landlord's fault.renters' treatment One of the guys was supposed to leave for good one morning, even though landlord was coming next morning before tenant left, he tried to "play" the situation.Tenant cleaned the room, no damage.

.#4 came out clean, good review, or nothing but their sites and products#5 had sooooo many unsatisfied costumer...unethical, ripoff, scam I was shocked.....granted they were directed to particular agents or agency none in my area.Reviews of their agents were glowing and professional.I'm just really confused.My goal, is to get license, so I can be trained to sale my flip and buy my other investors property.I will be part time RE agent and full time investor until fall when my son is in full time school.Where I can dedicate more timeBc my husband and I plan to obtain more buy/holds, I'm thinking getting my broker license so I can legally property manage in PA.And advise is welcomed.Thanks in advance

In regards to your question concerning FMV percentages and purchase prices, I have to say first and foremost there’s an exception to every rule and this is a business of exceptions but normally how it works is a trade desk pushes out a tape of assets and you would bid on the quality of the tape.

They are not slippery even when wet, they hold up to abuse, and they are easy to clean.

Concentrate on securing a quality deal as experienced real estate investors are not going to be sold by a green 19 year old.
