That way the tenant has time to look for a place, they can use the money they would have spent paying me rent as a security deposit and then when they get most of their security deposit back they can pay the first month rent at the new place.

If your time is better spent focusing on the insurance business and the 9-5p, focus on that and spend money on a good pm company!

@Wesley Thompson I’ve spent a lot of time figuring out how to introduce myself to others and usually overthink it.

I spent few days recently in all these areas.

Obviously I think for the most part you can go based on the coverage level on the box if it gives it.

For example, I believe my maintenance/cap ex allocation is accurate but most people would find them to be very conservative (I suspect they have not spent the effort calculating the estimate that I have).Related to expenses, the 50% rule really is not a rule but a guidance. 

All of your exposed wires in the basement/attic might be updated and new, but there's likely junction boxes hidden all over the house. 

One time I spent an entire evening helping my tenant load a Uhaul truck.

But are there folks I could hire to help me through the process, since my time is better spent on my existing business that I'm scaling.Thanks so much in advance!

The wholesaler spent about $120k in EM deposit, new survey, Phase I, interior survey, and some letters from city on zoning.
