I would count your losses and chalk it up as tuition.

They assess investor houses at 6% of value instead of 4% and owner-occupants don't pay the portion that goes towards the school board.

Do they get a salary or just free room and board?

The bio hazard company had to pull up the antique floor boards and some of the plaster walls.

Not sure if you have that available to you.A local Board of Realtors should have vacancy rates.

Josh - I am sort of in the same boat, what I have done is attend some local REI groups and join local REI internet boards (here, facebook, linked in, etc.).

Why I am going into REI, my price range, my niche, my financing strategy, as well as finding a mentor and developing a marketing plan and exit strategy.I keep hearing over and over to go look at 100 houses, basically meaning to look at all the houses in my territory to get a beat on the market.I did a tour of about 10 with a realtor, which was nice because she was able to get me inside the houses and tell me some things I didn't know.However, I don't want to make her drive me around to 100 houses while I just chalk it up to learning.

I have really had the OPM epiphany lately and realize it may be best for me to use my little chunk of cash to spread myself across the board as much as possible, ie: 1-3 rentals.

Wholesalers are opportunists, like car sales men buying at the car auction, under whholesale, selling to car dealers.Seller Financing REIs are more like financial planners, helping sellers sell on terms, with tools like lease options, sub2, wraps, aitds, owner financing, etc.Like Mars and Venus, like chalk and cheese.
