HOWEVER, you will not be able to get approved for a traditional mortgage if you don't have a full-time job so don't jump ship yet until you're fully confident you have other income streams in place.

The rural areas works very well for us due to the availability of land and the ability to readily create sales volume without the need to hunt down rehab deals constantly in the (sub)urban areas (though we expect to continue with that as well).We plan to begin construction of two homes in mid-January, and all indications suggest that we will have buyers already in place.

I clearly need to keep it posted on my monitor so I see it constantly.

Hi all,I bought a duplex for $60k back in May with the goal being to make a cash flow stream, but since the market here is hot this year I've decided to see if I can't sell it.

My sister-in-law lives in Mass. and the apartment she was renting upstairs the people in the unit down stairs would constantly cook curry etc. and the heat and air vents were shared in the building.

PM is a tough business and they need to make a profit so they are constantly trying to minimize their time on your property.Maybe I have had bad luck but I always have found it necessary to keep an eye on the PM.

The price the landlord wants to sell at what current cap does that come out too for the income stream of the lease??

If they don't come in line you want the tenant to leave anyways as the constant headache they create will suck the life out of you on a monthly basis.

Investors are generally looking to purchases a stream of income - i.e. cash-flowing real estate and dividend stocks. 

The key thing is they are still responsible for the fee to break early (which is just the equivalent to 2 months rent if in the least and 1 month if month to month), so if they just up and left with no notice and still in the lease, it's 2 months rent + they loose the security deposit on top of that.The big reason for all this is to protect your stream of income and reduce vacancy.
