Would it be best to rent them individually, then offer a discount for both?

I do not have a construction background and do not have any ideal how mush a certain job (say a kitchen gut) would cost.

You lease the entire property and then sublease the individual units.

To facilitate commerce, certain organizations combined efforts to create a set of laws that would represent "ideal" legislation to govern commercial transactions.

I do not use big renovation companies, but rather, rely on individual contractors who I've established a relationship with over the years.

For what it's worth here are my observations.........1- 80% of the information on investing in real estate being sold ranges from totally worthless to incorrect and or possibly illegal2- another 10% might work under some circumstances but either the recipient of the information needs a much more educated and experienced background than he is led to believe or the circumstances regarding the success of the method being sold are limited to a certain geographical area or a certain type of market3- the 10% of information that has value requires work, dedication, persistence, education to be used successfully.4- Certain types of individuals can self study utilizing free information available online and learn as much or more as any program or course will teach them5- most gurus are not currently successful using the methods they teach; they may have once been successful in a particular type of market or in a particular location, but they are not currently utilizing the method they teach successfully.

I know some may give flak jumping to the conspiracy theory tag lines, but there is just a hand full of individuals who control a vast swath of our economic flow, and things have moved in very odd ways, ways in which they could only move thru manipulation.

General question: What are your thoughts on the ideal distance between where you live and your first investment where you're managing tenants?

Conversely, I think of it ideally as a SFR marketplace for the wholesaler who wants to flip SFR deals to rehabbers of single family homes.

My ideal situation would be for the tenants to pay $1800 until end of the year and voluntarily leave on their own in Jan or Feb?
