Real Estate is definitely not just a "numbers analysis" and you are definitely thinking about things the right way - but I think a good next step for you would be to spend some time putting a lot of this stuff into a (very) basic financial model/spreadsheets mapping out all the potential costs and estimates on effect (effect on value, on exit, different scenarios) - I think getting started with that framework should help with these decisions immensely

The WLB lease (unless you use an ancient version) states that if nothing is done it defaults to a month to month.You can send them a Notice of rent increase (which you can get from WLB as well) sign an new lease, or do nothing and go mtm.I find that a 60 day notice from the tenant is not very helpful, most owners don't start showings until after the unit is vacant, so what's the point?

Hi friends, we started a meetup earlier this year for local investors (LA County), with a focus on multifamily properties.

My name is Alex and I am a new investor with a desire to start a section 8 rental company.

If this is a route you plan to go, I might also get a lawyer on board from the start and allow them to either negotiate with the insurance company or file the lawsuit against the agent and brokerage.

They forget our brokerage, team, and lead sources put their hands into that check first as well.After August 17th, only the best will continue to prosper in my opinion because it's going to get harder and harder to start from scratch in the business.

I’m starting my journey into investing in real estate.

Therefore I'm now looking to start investing in RE in the U.S - prefer neighboring states like New York (Buffalo?)

.- Be cautious with pricing: While the market is still strong, avoid overpricing.

I do not usually avoid this type of confrontation but I would not take on this fight and I have had on-going cases for 3 years (new one started before previous is settled).
