We really enjoy being landlords and have a goal of starting our own property management company in a few years, but first I plan to get my real estate broker license in order to gain some experience in the industry.

Just got back from a vacation there a couple weeks ago. 

The amount you can increase rent on vacancy is a function of both current rent as well as the length of time it has been since the last new lease was issued, plus of course getting the current tenants to vacate/not-renew. 

Thanks for the recommendation on a plumber, writing all of these down.I'm really enjoying getting the local feedback, please keep it coming if anybody else has any thoughts.

I want to rent my entire furnished home (Pacific Palisades primary residence) as a summer vacation rental in 2016.

South Florida is great for vacation but not a place that I would want to call home.

so it's taken me 5 months and lots of tears on other rehabs, but we finally finished this one.here are some pictures of the final product. if you have seen pics of our other houses, the interior starts to look like a cookie cutter home. same colors, same finishes, same, same, same..so i hope you like them.listed 30 mins ago on poslets for $1,075, we accept petsi have to look at the numbers when i get home from vacation, but i think it was around 10 to fix. who cares, really. what needed to be done got done. at this point, it just snowballs and the rest pay for the new acquisitions. i love keeping my subs busy, i just love it.

I want to learn more about Real Estate investing because I think it's one of the only things I would enjoy doing and am excited to get started.As far as experience goes, I purchased my first home in 2012 and lived in it for 2 years.
