I researched this for my state, Oklahoma.

If the answer is no, you probably won't be able to find buyers.The key is knowing what investors would be willing to pay...that takes education, research and knowledge of your buyer market...

Just for some closure on this thread, I did some research into the property and visited the area.

But I would tell you to do exactly what you are doing in researching "canned" crm applications.

It would better help me make a decision.I am currently researching alternatives (solo 401k).

I'm a nerdy website designer and have carved out a niche in property management website design and came across bigger pockets when researching different online property management back-office software tools such as buildium, propertyware, and appfolio for clients.This looks like a smart crowd of entrepreneurial type people, similar to myself and I am excited to see what I can learn.

It's time for me to do some more market research!

Statistics show that tenants use up to 40% more water when they do not pay for it.Your options are usually to:1.Have the total rent include water,sewer,and trash.2.Sub meter out the units from the water company if they allow it3.Prorate the amount of water usage for the building an bill each tenant.4.Have a company bill them instead of you.5.Have a private company install meters which is cheaper and they bill the tenant for what they use.This avenue you are still responsible to pay the water to the city/county even if you bill the tenant and they do not pay.On lower income housing I see about 60 to 65% pay their water you bill them for every month and the rest you have to chase for the money.You have to pay the water company regardless.The other factor is tenants will let friends was cars with the outside spigot,take showers,do their laundry,etc. and the tenants will also usually not report leaks or drippy faucets as they do not pay for the water.Another thing to look out for is what does the city/county charge for water and sewer rates.If you research a county you might find they have upped the water rates by 50% in the last 6 years.So one county using 1,000 gallons costs you 100 and in another county it costs you 56.You have to really look at how old the water and sewer system is for the city/county etc. and look at all the costs.I can tell you water is the talk of the town with buyers of multifamily.It can just crush your bottom line.

I will start researching what you mention above.

over 4 mortgages, you have to show the high credit score, reserve, and 25% down.but the other issue i have is that banks are telling me they can't finance a mortgage if it's Homepath home. i can do homeowner sale or a bank home if it's not a Homepath home.not sure what that's all about or how to research it if it's actually true.anyone know?
