Whatever you do, go after it with everything you've got, I started in Property Management years ago and have loved it, let me know if you have any other questions about the industry itself, I'm happy to help!

So maybe consider a 1031 tax exchange to avoid paying taxes on the sale and look into purchasing a small to medium sized apartment complex that will bring in more cashflowEx: A 30 unit complex ($50k per unit) with average rent of 600-800 (random, but common) would GROSS $18,000-$24,000 monthly..... so I know this is just a very generic example but it gives you the idea..... obviously a lot of other variables to consider when analyzing a multi family deals 

Her income will be able to be used, but the question is do we go off of the current 13 week situation or blend the 2 year average.

We figure our average tenancy is 2.x years. 

That is fine if it is the right size and material, but if not, why not measure it and go to the home improvement store and buy the material to do the repair right.It was taking them a longer than average time for them to rent the house and it had already been vacant a month before that due to my last property manager.

I was just thinking...If you find a suburb with consistent growth, growing number of jobs and diversified industries, a nearby bustling metro, talks of public transportation... would you build an airport?

My average rehab cost for a 2/2/1 with finished basement, around 1,200 sqft is close to $100k (finishes are in the middle) when ARV is in btw $375k and $425k.3.

Given all the red tape from HOAs and the general unwillingness of the average landlord to agree to a sublet clause in a lease, I'm particularly interested if anyone in the Chicagoland area (or any other metro really) has experience finding amenable landlords or owners who would be open to this type of rental agreement.Thanks for reading! 

The US Dept. of Justice seems to think real estate commissions are getting out of hand and though the rebates in their examples are very Weak, and consumers can save a lot more, they're trying to alert consumers of the savings that is available to themDepartment of Justice: Rebates Make Buying a Home Less Expensivehttp://www.justice.gov/atr/public/real_estate/rebates.htmlConsumers Can Save Thousands of Dollars in Commissions http://www.justice.gov/atr/public/real_estate/commission-table.html40 States that allow realtors to offer rebateshttp://www.justice.gov/atr/public/real_estate/rebates-details.htmlBesides the US Dept, of Justice, exactly what does the dear leader of Keller Williams have in store for the Mortgage Industry here in his Youtube videos?
