Each unused lock/deadbolt gets stored in a freezer bag with date and unit the lock was last used on -- so we do not inadvertently place the same lock on the same unit.   

Out of the four properties , there is one solid tenant, the other is struggling and the last two  properties are not renting.

I was briefly with realize properties, ERA, and lastly went with Heart and Home.

The tenant fails to pay their last month's rent and leaves the place needing new flooring and paint.

@Saul Vargas what other city saw a 23% increaes last year?

These tax professionals opted to pay to be included in this directory.

Many real estate investors opt for a fix-and-flip loan because they’re relatively easy to obtain: no personal income verification (no DTI requirements), and you can often borrow up to 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab costs.

I moved to the Sarasota area last year, and have been impressed by the REIA meetings here.

Things they did bad which I wish I had asked more information about:Never involved in the screening of tenantsThey recommended keys for cash by waiving the rent amount buy only collecting fees which they would get not meThe cost to evict is 750-950 yet other companies told me they will include eviction in the priceThe tenant didnt pay in full last month and I was the one calling out to them and asking questions then a few days later I get an email saying something happened with the tenant and they are investigating.You get passed from person to person every week or so.No one told me when the construction was complete and so the house was ready for a week and the post to zillow and other sites was not done.It took them another week to take pictures and then another week to upload it.I was paying 200 dollar a month electric bills while the house was vacant because they left the AC running in the empty property.

If it's a flip, I'd look at the best flips in the closest mile radius sold in the last 6 months.
