Or do you plan to diversify into other areas?

I carefully inspect the brick or siding to see if there are any severe problems that may necessitate extra repairs or replacement.Sidewalks and resident profiles are equally significant.

I’m planning to buy an investment home that is already rented.

Hey @Philip Coiro Great to hear that you're planning to scale your business via Outbound marketing! 

I have plans of refinancing the hard money loan with a traditional 30 year loan in May'24.

@Laura Au we've never had any real success with Facebook Marketplace, just a waste of time.Depending on the Placement Plan our clients choose, we can advertise their rental on at least 20 sites.Assuming you've got good pics and a jazzy ad, then look at how much exposure the property is getting.After that it's time vs rent amount, also what the property is vs improvements to make it more appealing.

@Sarah Kensinger don t forget investors can build and triple net lease their properties via a long term lease to management companies and enjoy all the benefits of passive investing.You are right .management companies who are responsible for taxes , insurance and maintenance, will make sure the property and furnishings( which they paid for) are well taken care of.

As long as I net what I want , I dont care . 

We love to go camping, take care of our home, and try new restaurants.
