That run ended last december as I picked up 4 houses in 6 weeks - some really solid deals.This last year, I didn't hit on a thing though until a month ago.

I am going to self manage & I have a couple other quick questions :I would like to set up for my tenants to only be able to pay their rent online, which website do you recommend for easy of use, efficiency for tax reporting & is the best for the cost of use?

If so then 800 for 6 monthly hits would be quite doable.

Transaction coordinator.. if your highly efficient this is an excellent position for west coast folks my wife pays 400.00 a file to her transaction coordinator and will do 30 deals a year.. so that's 12k from ONE realtor most coordinators once they get a rep will have 10 to 20 agents.. easy to make 100k or better your not going to do that wholesaling on the west coast starting out.3.

I will just take it step by step and deal with it when I hit a wall.

However, I do recommend the NYSERDA energy efficient program to pay for energy improvements like furnaces, H2O tanks, insulation, windows, etc.https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/All-Programs/Programs/Home-Energy-Efficiency-Upgrades

@Eric O'neil Build a team around you that can bring in disciplines that you're not efficient at- do you need a RE Agent, Contractor, Closing Company, Partner with Money?

Of course evictions will be different across the board, but like I said, hit me with some firsthand experience of what you actually dealt with when having to go through the courts to have a tenant evicted, and if it was better or worse than other areas you've invested in.

Vancouver is going to take a big hit.

Try and find a new tenant before you hit the dead season, and move on.
