They are getting tired of upkeep, maintenance, renting duties, etc.

For the price of an annual membership you may be able to solve your lending related license and compliance problems.

The MLS is about $1000 to start and to maintain annually.

Jeff I do not consider myself a heavy hitter at all.Currently i have 5 quads for a total of 20 units but I am always looking for more under the right terms FOR ME.I am currently looking at 20 to 30 more units in my same development to purchase.I have an onsite maintenance man and property manager.I am a commercial real estate broker so my day consist of talking to clients and closing my commercial deals and then having reviews with my property manager of where everything is at and how it is going.My properties are value add deals whereby with work we are creating a large amount of forced equity into the project.So my highest dollars per hour is writing contracts and doing deals and talking to clients and working my own investments for myself.Anything else I try to delegate out to workers that make less per hour average then I do.good luck

So that was my first maintenance call on my first property - installing a mailbox.

Getting it done at current rates as a primary residence and looking forward to improving the property (overdue maintenance) and using the rest as down payment on a property or two!

(quoted 450 by 8 companies for homestead taxes)maintenance ~ 1500?

Less formalities with an LLC (don't need to hold annual BoD meetings, etc.) - Not a big deal at all - although if you don't follow these formalities, someone could pierce the corporate veil3.

Fixed rate - if you can lock in an interest rate of ~5% and generate a annual ROI of 18+ percent (in today's dollars), you're always going to beat out inflation - even if you don't raise rents.

I have found that you can find higher returns but almost always are in rough areas with higher crime, vacancy and maintenance.
