That would usually cost me a little extra per year for that, but since I also pay him for advice through the year I haven't seen a bill for the 'being an agent' job.All that provides is a Texas address for official notification of paperwork etc. and what he does is just forward it to me at my 'real' address.

The “finish line” is not one month after you buy the property, the “finish line” is in most cases is 5 to 7 years from now.In the multifamily space, investors often talk about “meat on the bone” or “proven value add” “proof of concept” where the seller has demonstrated ability to increase rent based on unit renovations and so they don’t renovate every unit, they leave some meat on the bone for the next buyer.In my experience in good growth markets in desirable areas, it is hard to buy based on current NOI.
