It is SORELY needed here in Southern Cal, I have endured the rounds of wannabe gurus, pitch fests and self important realtors that love the sounds of their own voices (there was one RE organizer who pitched a mlm scheme on a bottled soda) sheesh!

We could round down to 23 houses to make it close.

Any broker with a sense of decency, and most of us are decent, will give him the bonus amount without taking a cut.

@Gary Parker, I only got to do one round at this point. 120mailers, about 15 called, 3 were close deals but no actual deals.

In the meantime, I just put bandit signs out for the first time this weekend and sent my first round of yellow letters to absentee owners last week.

Another bonus is the ease of sharing specific documents or folders with someone else (CPA, lender, etc) if needed.

It's just a little bit of a pick-me-up.We are also adding a wall/bathroom to the upstairs bonus room, which should increase our rents by $500 a month.

Otherwise just call it $650 for analysis purposes and if you get more you'll feel like you're getting a bonus / reward.

@Huggy Baird but if you need to make $35k and can generate 27% return you would need $130k cash (rounded)

This is not including any capex (repairs) you need upfront.If utilities are paid by landlord go 55% to 60% annual costs.Now with you living in one unit the plus is you get long term low financing but if you sell it's not really much of a bonus in a few years.
