But education starts somewhere, and basic analysis and due diligence will enable the investor to avoid the worst investments.  

Overall we have just a basic idea of how their algorithm works.

I basically just told them when they moved in that any drama that may arise from them sharing the house is between them and has nothing to do with me (as long as the house/people aren't being physically harmed).If you do end up renting to veterans I think your best bet to ensure everyone gets along is to just make one lease for all 4 bedrooms.

Anybody here that reserves a townhouse In Palm Bay with D32 Invest builder in Florida for about a year and then they jack up the price by 25% basically taking away all the appreciation?

Its the "blocking and tackling" and going with the basics that keep you out of 90% of the problems that we see people have.

I started my OOS HML  career in Detroit and that was 2002 and WOW coming from our area what an education I got.. my clients that were doing turnkey at the time and all the buyers were out of state ( basically LA based) the local on the ground operator was very good he had all sorts of tricks to try to keep the houses safe.. the one i really liked was painting the copper pipes grey so thieves would not steal them..

The net result is basically the same, but it keeps the two properties separate from a lenders perspective.Any low down payment money, particularly on an investment property, is going to come from a private money lender.  

Some of us are business minded and strive to add value beyond basic compliance and planning (which it doesn't even sound like you're getting planning here).

The ones I manage total to 20 bedrooms.These rooms rent for between $125 to $225 per week depending on room size and amenities in the room (beyond basic amenities may include: Desk, Tv, private entry, tenant controlled AC, additional storage).This month after padsplit takes their 14.25% cut of the revenue I am recieving, from the units I own, $15,230 from 3 homes.

if i buy a rent ready house off the MLS, and put it under management with a good PM... that's basically turnkey too just without the label and the provider.one thing i notice on BP is how many new investors think they're being guaranteed outcomes rather than processes.
