Especially at the lower end of the market with rents in the $400-600 range, a PM is going to lose money at 8%, maybe break even at 10% and their profit is going to come in that 10-15% range.

With the case from that article, it seems to me the developer is just taking some profit by letting go of the retail space and focusing on the office space. 

I am getting minimal cash flow and would like to put profits from selling toward a better cash flowing property such as a duplex.

If you are looking OOS, I would suggest looking for a market first then find a good Turnkey company is that market.Try looking at:The Best Types of Markets for Profitable Turnkey PropertiesandWhat to Ask When Working With a Turnkey Provider

Buyer(it has to be a good cash flowing property for a landlord or a good profit for a flipper, otherwise ITS NOT A DEAL)3.

We are about to close on our first sale (approx $7500 profit) & I've come across a landlord who's retiring.

I know which is very high, my property is listed as non residential as per water company since meter is 8in, currently I am paying as a landlord full monthly water bill and all my profits this bill is eating.I ask the water company my property has submeters if i make those active is the water bill going to reduce by making the property as residential?

Use asset-based funding, such as private lenders and commercial lenders - those who loan money based on the value of your properties, their profitability and your credit but not your income.C.

If you own a 2 flat or larger building you can make a great profit using Airbnb.

I would be profiting about 200-300 every month.
