Put in the effort, build relationships, prove your value, and improve your odds of finding someone to help launch you on your path.

I also was put in a weird situation that I was not expecting and I said I did not currently accept section 8 but I might look into it.

A highly important metric for doing the BRRRR method.When doing the calculators for estimating cash flow, most properties I put in, after expenses including, pm10%/capex10%/repairs10%/vacancy8%, they normally cash flow anywhere between $100/mo - $300/mo.

Because the house my wife and I (the second pair of shoes in my profile pic) put in an offer to the owner of the house i discussed last week and part of the pool decking needs to be filled in with concrete.

I want to make good use of the money I put in, but I wanna fix things right and make it nice.

And point 1st seems to be really difficult for me to put in practice, give the bad social relationship we 3 brothers have.

This form would put in writing, with their signature, their intent to vacate and the date of their intended last day of tenancy.A health situation like this is not only heartbreaking, but is likely to result in both the husband and wife not thinking clearly and under substantial stress.The tenant is informing you that they can't afford to rent the place any longer and/or need to move for health reasons.

I know real estate investing is a great way to build for retirement, I just wish I could find a magic wand to make him understand that he can still do some things himself but we are better off in the long run to hire the bulk of the work done so we can acquire more properties.BTW, the first 2 flips allowed us to pay cash for the duplex and the most recent rental unit (SFR 3 beds, 1 bath) so it is working, just not working quickly enough to keep me from having to put in 80 hours a week.  

Being too hands on can distract you from the business side of things.

I don't feel that my criteria are outrageous - 650 fico, 2.5x to 3x income to rent (im in SoCal), no violent criminal history, verified rental history w/no major neg feedback from previous landlord.If any of you out there have some good tips regarding filtering applicants before they waste too much time, please share them - (how much qualification info do you put in your ads, do you reiterate this criteria in all of your communications to them, do you do pre-screening applications prior to seeing the units, etc etc etc).
