Although market conditions improved, I felt that we didn't have enough equity to pull out of the house and do the work, so I decided to take a 20k personal loan out. 

If you can prove through 2nd appraisal that your renovations have improved the house such that your LTV is less than 75% you can get PMI removed.

Search properties and analyze as many deals each day that you can.

I've seen numbers in the 14% to 16% range.As far as improvements, I'd concentrate on whatever it takes to get the home to the point that it survives an FHA/VA/USDA appraisal. 

I searched the forum for this topic, but only found posts over a year old.I am researching property management software.

Hi Shelby,I think we can improve our occupancy maybe a little but due to Hutchinson Island being an hour from the closet airport it makes it hard to stay consistently booked. 

In search of PM in Kettering OH, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @Tiffany Milan keep searching the forums you'll find someone who can assist, in the meantime try to attend as many of the BP webinars and read as many books as you can, to develop a firm knowledge base.

@Jaron Walling thank you for the quick response. of course any deal might be different, and one neighborhood might present better opportunities  then another, i was wondering why when i searched for information about the city, i found multiple sources showing a price forcast which does not look good. do you have any opinion on that matter?

I'm also in search of the same, as I'm building my team there as well.
