I'm offering my services for those of you who need any trashouts and debris removal needs for your investment properties here in Memphis, TN.

Do any of you have any thoughts as to how much to set aside for maintenance on these older properties?

There are several companies who provide mailing services and you can find out about them by doing a search on BP.

Hardly the "business is booming" sentiment that you read about on Crowdfund Insider (which is nothing more than a PR service for the top platforms). 

You may also want to check out the Property Hub - focused specifically on the UK market: https://thepropertyhub.net/If you're interested in purchasing through an investment house, I work for one that provides 'deals' and an advisory service in the regions we specialise in. 

Generally speaking, documents you may find from online services often lack important clauses that can help shift burdens and costs down the line.

Remember though, you still have to sell them on your product or service.

Do you have property management services that will handle these units?

Will the rents you get in cover the mortgage plus expenses (portion set aside for future repairs or cap-ex, maintenance, insurance, taxes) *and* produce cash flow?
