Looking for some insight on a few things before starting construction on my first rental property!

The full agenda is available within the registration platform, but you can find the agenda at a glance here: https://biggerpockets.getregistered.net/conference-2024/agen...We are also adding a cornhole and beach volleyball tournaments on Sunday starting at 2 PM to provide additional activities for fun and networking for attendees! 

For example, some cities have started capping the number of short-term rentals allowed, while certain HOAs impose fees that can significantly cut into your margins.For out-of-state investments, having a trustworthy property management team that understands local laws and has good relationships with HOAs can make all the difference.

Last, none of us want to wait for SEO to take hold until we start turning deals, so that's where I'll usually do Google PPC, PPL, or a form of offline marketing to fill in the gaps while SEO picks up. 

As mentioned earlier, only a few mortgage types can be truly assumed, mainly FHA and VA loans.Yes, if you only are making over the payments then the debt stays with the seller and transferring the title to you is more complicated.In the end, the starting point is making sure the numbers work.

And as the buyer (my colleague) is now getting closer to closing it's starting to look like it might be worth just cleaning the place out and doing a very low cost rehab (paint, pressure wash and handyman repairs) for a quick sale.

after about $550,000 in remodel costs we reopened the wash under a new name with new logos and branding. we introduced targeted online marketing ads, negotiated wholesale pricing deals with local car dealerships to offer a year of free carwashes with the purchase of a new vehicle. created a monthly newsletter and sourced emails from local businesses. all in all I would say we double or tripled the bottom line numbers of the business in six months and boosted google reviews thru the roof!
