If you do just a little bit of work up front to get your vendors/systems in place, set the expectations with your tenants and create a respectful/mutually beneficial relationship with your tenant, it is a breeze.

With all due respect, you are not offering enough information for anyone to help you out.

Thanks again for your input and best of luck to you both in your respective ventures.

My girlfriend and I both work in downtown B'more (we both walk to our respective jobs), and we really enjoy renting in the Federal Hill location with its proximity to restaurants and the other perks of city life.

best advice I heard my respect to you sr Mr Stepen Anderson

Orlando and Tampa are actually the number 1 and 2, respectively, cities in the country for real estate investing according to Inman so you will have plenty of opportunities!

A 203k Loan is where the purchase price and rehab costs are rolled into a single loan.Assuming you have a respectable FICO you can buy, with a FHA Loan (3-5% down, a 30 year amortization schedule, and a residential loan rate).

If I was the tenant I would feel like you don't respect me at all and are just trying to get me to move out so you can be able to rent out the unit at the current way over inflated rental prices.

J.Michael,We are a SDIRA administrator, but out of respect for bigger pockets we don't want to blow our own horn.

Greg,Respectfully I disagree with you.
