My journey to the world of REI began with my personal experience as a renter, HGTV, Dave Ramsey podcasts, a desire to become an agent, and now the Bigger Pockets podcast.I am most enthusiastic about building a portfolio of rental properties for financial freedom.

Would you happen to have any resources that quickly come to mind on how one can maximize the cashflow potential of a rental property?

There was also a thread on my city's neighborhood facebook page (another great resource) recently that suggested a family of 4 could expect to use $60-$75 of water.

Come invest in Philly on some fix and flips and I'd pick out the properties at discount, manage the project, handle due diligence and would agree to 70/30 split, you getting the bigger slice of the pie (since you're paying for everything) on the first two or three projects. 

Hello all,I am just getting started on my rental property journey and am looking for advice on networking and resources for the Seattle area.

In other words, I am looking for help finding the people/resources/legal, etc., online and/or in person.The information I need to know is (And maybe not in this order):1) How do I find Residential Mortgage Loan Originators in Montana, who know how to write-up a loan for this type of transaction, to be compliant with SAFE Act, etc?

The students would just be sending rent checks to a different address, and it wouldn't really affect them.My recommendation would be to invest in whatever property the numbers make the best return for you, and focus on supporting students in a way that will have a bigger impact on them than being their landlord.

Secondly, you will almost always get more bang (read: bigger rent increase) when you upgrade amenities (say new cabinets or flooring) between tenants.That said, in my books there are exceptions for long-term tenants.  

., then communicate that to the tenant, then deal with them going, "Why is it bigger this month?

Hello BP Investors,I am currently in a situation where I am looking to pull money out of one of my investment properties to put down as a down payment on something bigger.
