@Christopher Guerriero it sounds like some people have fought assessment values more successfully than others over the years as well as varying degrees of homestead exemptions for previous owners that didn’t get adjusted back when the property changed hands.

As for the expenses, I'd agree with your strategy of combining the property management under your current one which should help lowering it to a degree.

My point is , you will have costs associated. 

I can speak from experience that being a broker will only make you broker.Working an associate broker with another local brokerage can be more profitable and MUCH smaller headache.

Please advise as this is a new topic to my associate and I.

Every property needs *something* fixed, even if it's just new paint or baseboards.I'm surprised to see this property is part of a homeowners' association. 

They are clueless to the costs associated with having rentals and will end up not making much or possibly anything. 

@Jack RoppAside from REIA, is there something like a wholesalers association?
