I hate sounding like a broken record, but I just think it is good advice.What ever you use, get a website going WHILE you do your DM marketing.

I can't imagine the neighbors have been paying property taxes on this entire lot or that the county would accept taxes for just a sliver.I'll admit I'm probably overly paranoid about this topic, stemming from the case in Boulder a few years ago where someone successfully took a slice of their neighbors property with adverse possession.

It's all about finding the right property manager, one that seeks to fill vacancies and market your property in creative ways rather than just list it on their website.

Great Website Very Useful!

My offer was accepted on a duplex and I recently asked for the current rental agreement for the current tenants.

There are exceptions if one has a reasonable reason acceptable to the lender.

LOLCA is the same.. there is a tab right on the BRE front page of the website to report unlicensed activity.   

Unless you can invest 20+ hours per week and will invest $5-$10k getting setup with website, systems, marketing etc and looking to do 20+ notes a year then I would recommend JV’ing with someone.

It is harder today to differentiate between companies and offerings than ever before, but that doesn't mean that running numbers on Turnkey properties is any different than other single-family homes.The 50% rule is a well-accepted, quick assumption calculation for determining net rental income on a single-family house.  

I was wondering what websites, blogs or periodicals you read to learn about what markets to invest in or about the state of Real Estate in general, or specific markets?
