But if that's the case, I actually think being on the project management, property management, or finance side is likely more helpful than sales.3.

I don't know for sure, but I would guess that a person cannot carry 2 FHA loans at the same time.

If they can provide pics or vids you can estimate rehab costs, but you would have to have a contractor and realtor you can trust since you can't actually be there.

Make sure the fee covers actual storage costs, like space and security.Before charging fees or throwing things away, send a note to your old tenant.

Here is 3 scenarios: conservatively projected low/medium/ and scenario 3 is actual recent net returns  (unlikely repeatable right now) I'm looking for alternative ideas to deploy $150-200k down payment on a much larger investment than a 1br house, so I can play the appreciation game as well as the income game.

It’s definitely a combination of how you operate as well as the actual property and what it has to offer.There is already a lot of good advice on this thread about regulations and looking at comps - you make your money when you’re buying so don’t rush into something you don’t fully understand or have the answers to!

I'm actually in Boise and our team is pretty well networked in this area.

I would recommend a bit more competitive pricing and really giving those first few guests an amazing experience (extra goodie bags, hand written notes etc)As a local cohost, I actually require all my owner's to create their own account and add me as a cohost.

These are usually small things, like a slow leaky toilet, some loose handles in the kitchen, maybe the shower diverter isn't working well (we have very hard water here so its common).While this is rather/sort of embarrassing, I THINK bBy getting them fixed quickly it actually shows that I a landlord that intends to maintain my properties and provide at least a decent place for my tenants to live.To save a bit of money, I change out the locksets on the door myself. 

I guess we will weigh those options when time comes.
