You know the area best and you are also able to manage more efficiently if it is close to home.

companies aren't communicating (against the law) thus a market will get outstripped very quickly and then your in a price or 3 months free war, which sends profits down. 

Im noticing that some properties are efficient for rentals, but no so much for a house hack.

If it truly was such a great buy it would cashflow efficiently with a BRRR or flip opportunity.

The current leases do not go into much detail on how the current property manager handles non-separated utilities so I thought I would reach out to you all.In the event that a property has utilities or services payable by the tenant but are not separately metered, what is the most efficient way to handle billing said tenants in regards to ease of self managing? 

But communication is key.

There are no shortcuts, only efficiency...and they are not the same thing. 

I prefer text communication for the next week.Thanks so much,Heather Vaartjes

It's easy to find buyers, not easy to find deals - so a good wholesaler is worth their weight, set yourself up for success by communicating your serious intent. 

First off, tell them to stop all communication with you on your phone number and start communicating via email.
