TX seems to be a logical choice if it allows non-resident to register.  

I'm not simply looking at a snapshot of the present rent and dividing it by the purchase price although this is better than nothing, It is not sufficiently sophisticated for me to make smart decisions as to which properties to purchase.

The huge demand for medical laboratory commercial space in the Greater Boston region is astounding.I'm looking for fellow commercial professionals who have utilized any specific calculators/software to analyze commercial deals.I'm not simply looking at a snapshot of the present rent and dividing it by the purchase price although this is better than nothing, It is not sufficiently sophisticated for me to make smart decisions as to which properties to purchase.I'm looking for a tool tool that can quickly take all factors into account such as mortgage interest and depreciation allowances to work out the true effect of our returns.I know it's impossible to expect any piece of software to give me a green or red light with regard to property acquisition.And realize a deal is good depending largely on the circumstances of the investor.

A few of mine include:Draining outside hoses, and bowling out any irrigationTesting sump pump and removing/draining any hose extensionsCleaning out gutters to avoid ice damsThermostat upgrade to a smart thermostat to conserve energyFurnace cleaning & check upFriendly reminder to tenants on snow removal responsibility :) What's on your list?

You need to be twice as smart in a down market. 

Hi Bradley,It might be smart to call the property owner and see what the actual policy is for this.If it's no pets, then Grandfathering in the Pet Owners (allowing them to keep leasing with pets) might be a good business move.And as a Property Manager, I'm sure you know, some of the units will have "Secret Pets" that are not on the lease.Secret cats, I just don't see them--they are invisible.Secret Puppies and Dangerous Breeds gotta go. 

Good luck on your search and smart call shopping around. 

Could you get away with not giving the lease back, probably but if there was actually a cockroach infestation than that’s on you and they made a reasonable choice by moving out immediate.

It has never resulted in a bad review.We use the Yale Smart locks with a backup physical key option with the August Connect.

Smart Adam!
