My question is - Bracebridge is experiencing issues for long term rentals for people looking to rent a 2 or 3 bedroom unit, and these are very scarce as prices to own escalate and property management for long term rentals is scarce also.

Hey everyone,I am a newbie real estate investor in the greater Seattle area.

For example my simple spruce up would be, renno bathroom, and kitchen, paint, and redo carpet upstairs.But if i think real deep into what I could do to make it a STUNNER then I think, knock down walls, create more open/broken floor plan, add central air, possibly do an addition to add a 3rd bedroom and second bath.So when you could do ANYTHING .. how do you draw the line of what you should do?

I’m fairly new to the self-managing/property management business and certainly new to dealing with section 8 tenants.I have a potential section 8 tenant who has inquired about one of my properties and they are in their opinion “disgusted” with the way the carpet looks however up until this point in my efforts of marketing the property I have not had one complaint concerning the carpet.That being said she has requested to rip out the carpet, in turn to replace the carpet with hardwood floors. 

Obviously, I don't want my properties making people sick.

I know some regular conventional investment property loan programs have certain rules about this but does Fannie Mae?

I am new to real estate investing. 

Hi there, I have been looking into getting my first investment property.

From what I’ve seen, some flippers are still willing to pay buyer’s agent commissions, especially if they want to attract more buyers and make their properties more competitive.

Security Deposits:The property management charges tenants a "move-in" fee rather than a security deposit.
