If it's a simple 1 or 2 BR property that has been properly maintained I'd pencil in $150/mo.Bigger, higher-end property, maybe including landscaping - you'll need to do more homework.Keep in mind that may look like 2 years of $0 expenses, then 6K in one wad

You certainly don't need to try and maintain a relationship with 15 banks!

All properties are different and it depends on how the owner maintains the property.

We had to feed the property, but always maintained it and kept it rented.

Yes indeed.Bruce Norris put out an interview with Harry Dent (with controversial history of predictions), but does bring up the point about China's bubble that should be popping anytime soon.http://www.thenorrisgroup.com/blog/news/harry-dent...I don't think the Chinese are generally over leveraging in the States (mainly paying in cash since banks are still pretty stringent on their underwriting standards), so I think the ones left out will be heavily leveraged investors flipping a home that can't maintain cash flow.Maybe not government intervention, but maybe the Chinese mainland will just have a huge economic slowdown resulting in no more cash flowing in from China. 

Hello,Our property located in Fort Worth,TX had a foundation repair after which it was recommended maintaining a constant level of moisture in the soil near and under the house (by placing a soaker hose on each side of the foundation no farther than 12'' from the edge of foundation to water DAILY during hot and dry months).Our property management company wrote a letter to our tenant explaining this, however I can not guarantee tenant complies. 

There's only one roof, one property tax, one insurance bill, and one sewer system to maintain.

Are you responsible for maintaining 12 homes or it's tenants responsibility?

Landlords usually need to make repairs in a reasonable amount of time so long as the property maintains habitability. 

He tells me the essence is that they have to maintain majority control, the benefit to me that I'd be getting the money back in addition to the equity with quarterly payments. 50k buys inventory and 30k is escrowed with interest by Mobil which supposedly comes back.I attached the documents he sent me.
