Scouring the internet and reaching out to brokers in the areaHow did you finance this deal?

@Charline R. where are the cleaning expense, maintenance,landscaping and lawn, labor costs internet costs,marketing costs, advertising?

In fact my 'can't afford to retire' BIL who spent many hours telling my wife & I we were doing it ALL WRONG is still sending me depressing REI news he digs up off the internet.

You will have more use for clearing up title issues from sellers, drafting contracts (don't just pull something from the internet, that's our job security), LL/T disputes, and breach of contract cases.

A loan origination fee paid prior to your loan even being approved is a red flag, and something often seen with scammers.Not to mention that real private lenders are simply not out there randomly approaching strangers on the internet and begging to loan them money at 100% financing and 6% interest, especially when they haven’t even seen the details of the deal yet.

Setting up utilities, especially TV and internet, is a pain, and sometimes the tech support won't help your tenants when they call, even if you put their names on the account.For me, renting by rooms is an acceptable last resort when I can't fill my units with groups.

And start by either making a distress property list of your own by driving for dollars, or purchase distress property lists on the internet.

We advertise our high dedicated internet speed, desk and quiet environment as selling points for people who are traveling and working.

I highly recommend you do not split out utilities, internet, etc. 

I am doing some shopping on the internet looking for choices that will make a good balance between cost, durability, and maintenance.
