We had an inspection by the fire marshall, and he gave us a long list of things to correct. 

Gone are the days of easy money.

@Sanjeev AdvaniIn our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

It's also very important to know the wants/needs/position of your buying audience.I find that buyers are much more willing to get into a bidding war, and over bid on a property as opposed to paying their buyers agent.

Most brokerages did a poor job of educating their agents of these changes so please bare with the agent.

You won’t be surprised that many states consider that pretty penny a critical component when calculating these payments.As with any financial analysis, it’s essential to understand how to break down the numbers, especially regarding child support.

(about $20K in profits) I've developed and perfected a strategy to manage these tenants (and I'm a Hilton/Marriott hotel General Manager so its not difficult for me)The only thing(s) that are in our way from scaling quickly is;1) a consistent unlimited supply of tenants looking to rent bedrooms, 2) a partnership with a rental management company (we arbitrage 50% of our homes)3) I guess some capital but really only depending on how quickly we decide to scale.MyRoom is the name of the company, (lazzarapm.com) anyone have any thoughts, recommendations, suggestions on how to achieve this, FAST?

If you called the lender that did the original loan they may just be trying to prevent themselves from getting portion of commission recaptured from an early payoff.

But we soon came to realize that we could re-rent a unit in a matter of days as long as we had proper notice from the tenant.  

I have a situtation where the owner had paid off the house but owns 27K in back taxes and is afraid they are going to take it away from him and wants to sell it.
