Another thing to keep in mind is what sorts of customers Penske is serving, if you're factoring it into your long-range plans.There was a link in the article that went to United Van Lines' map of its moves.

I utilize sub contractors for the labor and develop work flow schedule so all the subs are working properly without it becoming a circus on the site.

You the buyer in most cases are a customer only provided ministerial acts by the listing broker.

Just use extra diligence when screening potential tenants and maybe do additional property checks during their lease term.I've got a few rentals that were semi custom specs I couldn't sell when the world fell apart and so far they've remained in excellent condition.

I'm just applying the 50% rule that says 50% of gross scheduled rents will go to vacancy, expenses (taxes, insurance, routine maintenance, make ready costs, tenant damage in excess of deposits, utilities at least when its vacant, CPA fees, legal fees) and capital (roofs, floors, appliances, furnaces, sewer lines, etc.)

Most conventional lenders will want utilities on.

I could get a bigger down payment offering this property to a first time home buyer customer and use that to move on.
