Hi @Mario GonzalezI'm a Realtor/Investor who lives and invests in Philadelphia.Problem - some of the areas that make sense numbers-wise aren't particularly desirable places to live.1.

Jack your rents up now so you can have a cushion when it is imposed.What I find most disheartening is the fact that rent control will prevent people trying to move into Chicago from finding desireable apartments.

You should create a FB profile if only to post listings, you have to go to where your tenants are!

Nobody ever plans to go bankrupt but it's happened to people much smarter than me.

I am in TX, I want to lock in a commercial property with a private seller, he doesn't want to go the traditional route of selling outright just yet, due to the property having items of value that need to be sold first.

I'll have to go back and listen to that bit again.

But where they love to go is in small crevices. they love to hide in the lip of the mattress.

I want to go the BRRRR route to get as much of the HELOC money back as possible but very new to the whole thing.

If you want to go the contractor route, try to get at least 3 quotes and references.

This interior change forced us to consider the short term rental market and how it could actually be a desirable feature for this market where a group may be interested in renting both sides like adjoining hotel rooms.Our total cash into the renovations was extensive ($95,000).
