Hi all,I am currently house hunting for my first home in the Aurora, CO area and am interested in finding something with a finished basement that I could create a separate entrance for (assuming one doesn't already exist) and rent it out to tenants and make a dent in the mortgage payment given this high interest rate environment.

Sean,The rental dwelling market for many areas in the Northeast have seen both rate increase and Insurance companies pulling out.  

Dayton has more cash flow - and Columbus has a higher predicted appreciation rate 

. ;-)I hope you get a pro discount! 

High property taxes might be offset by better rental rates, or vice versa.

Any conventional loan products for property in a flood zone (not sure what flood zone 9 is) requires flood insurance, which can be very expensive, and rates have been rising each year. 

They want to make you their puppet, they think they know it all and of course they want a volume discount.

If due on the 1st, do you pro-rate the tenant's portion of the rent for the remainder of the month when the lease starts and also prorate their portion for the days in the last month up until the lease expires?

@Andy Ciordia.....its just as easy as "Hey do you offer any discounts since I have multiple properties that need work"As a person who does work in the Home Services Industry, it costs the vendor the same amount of time (most likely money too) do the work whether its 1 or 2 properties.

thank you Have you improved the value or purchase at a significant discount?
