Is there a government inspection process of properties to ensure that new rentals are safe/ suitable to rent?   

I receive postcards and mailers from realtors offering 1% on the listing side quite often.I've also had realtors offer to kick me back part of their commission on the buying side as well.So I know this is starting to become a fairly common practice at least in my area.

Hey everybody, I'm fairly new to BP but have really appreciated all of the helpful feedback from everyone on the forums as I get closer to pulling the trigger on my first REI.

It is fairly easy to find out.

They'll confirm the ARV and current values (you want that BPO/appraisal), make sure you have the right insurance in place, ensure title is clean, etc. 

Our primary focus is cash flow, but the other 2 help balance and ensure a solid investment all the way around. 

I think this is a great idea, as it doesn't force me to have to look tenants again, but I'm worried about how do I ensure that the rent I'm charging stays with market rent. 

I'm fairly new myself and have learned so much already from BP!

The city seems to feel we need to ensure housing is affordable with 0 incentives to do so.

You just need to ensure the account is in the name of the LLC and uses the LLC tax ID.
