Handing over portfolio to PM, how to prevent unnecessary charges
23 January 2022 | 3 replies
AKA very easy/simple things that require no actual part replacements or major work.My fear is that when I hand my portfolio over to a PM I will be getting a lot of high price maintenance expenses for service calls which might raise my expenses dramatically.

Mixed Use 1st Investment Property - Glencoe, MN - seller finance
11 January 2022 | 8 replies
When I ran my numbers, I ran with increasing the rent $50 right away and then over time adjusting it slowly with the tenant to market rent (or market rent to a new tenant if this one left).It's not a cash flowing property as is when considering variable expenses, but is appealing to me because of the maintenance already done, purchase price, close to home (so I can work on it with my kids to teach them), and with some businesses I can do 2+ year leases for a little more stability.I would like the seller finance so I can keep more reserves as I'm also looking at a STR cabin purchase.

If the neighborhood is as bad as the purchase price suggests, you need to also include a realistic initial Renovation cost, and even more importantly, a monthly allowance for Maintenance and Cap Ex (say, 10% for each, and the same for Property Management).What's that?
