Fan Bi L/A, Maine can be a goldmine if you manage it correctly the issue is the tenants you get. it is definitely a D class area and many of the building are Z class(being sarcastic). its like most places with low point of entry a lot of work. 

@Emily Hill if you’re a raiders fan PM the address and I’ll send you the address I get from DealMachine, gives you a good idea of how the app works and you can try it if you want.

There will be ongoing expenses on a monthly basis and rehab more frequently.

I have a couple who have done numerous "upgrades" (ceiling fan, flooring, vanity, etc.) with no issues.

It is likely too late at this point, but for future reference, it would be much better to lose the popcorn ceilings and do a smooth skim coat or even a light texture on the drywall for the ceilings.I'm not a fan of the yellowish looking paint (although it may be nicer in person than on screen/photos) and the two colors in the bedroom don't flow well.

RentHero: A simple and low cost replacement for QBO built specifically for rentalsSimplifyEm:  Looks good but has a bunch of fees when under 50 units that rule it outAppFolio: Is good but needs 25+ units to be worthwhilePropertyware: Looks promising but has implementation costs and wouldn't be viable short of 25 unitsBuildium: Personal experience here that I am not a fan but will do all that is needed. 

I see properties in Ogden that are 2 homes on one lot pretty frequently that are considered multi unit.

The answers have been varied with a LLC mentioned most often.But, because of the $800 annual tax CA imposes, a business trust has been mentioned next most frequently or out-of-state, "foreign" LLC's, which although cheaper to implement can have expensive drawbacks (extra tax return, costs if legal action out-of-state, etc), I've been warned.My seed money is $15K of a $20K non-earned lump sum from Social Security.

To my surprise, the tenants would often come up with something I didn't think of such as "We would add a ceiling fan to the master, or upgrade the outside lighting".
