Have a contingency plan in place if a unit remains vacant for a few months.Determine what a competitive rental rate is for your property by asking rental agents what they would expect to charge, by reviewing area rentals, and by personally visiting rentals available in the neighborhood.Run the numbers.

If you want to start investing, anything east of Fontana is a lot cheaper than where you live.If I were in your shoes, I would start with 2+ units, live in one, rent out the other(s).

The ability to save on the amount of the interest rate you are being charged…. month after month….. year after year… 2 or 3 % or more is huge.

I always kept all the repairs on me for the same reason, I also charged higher than market rent.

I was curious what other landlords out there do for their tenants that is "above and beyond" what is written in their leases to retain good tenants.I'll start: :whistle: Plant an herb garden for them to useInstall washer/dryer - no charge for useYour turn:

So, if I find a home that is cheaper, my cashflow will be better in case I can’t sell it quickly AND my loan will be fixed for 30 years.

They tell you "what a bargain this property is," and then you have to spend $50,000 to correct the property to market conditions, and then the stupid realtor says, "This is why it's $50,000 cheaper."

I will charge anywhere from 4-6%.

I figuire repairing the machines is cheaper than repairing the walls every time someone moves in or out.

Any of that getting CHEAPER?
