This would normally depend on the condition of the property and the Condition of the tenant.  

Hey Ellen,Congratulations on your new property in Providence! 

I was under impression that property tax was included.

Good afternoon,I am renting out my first property and it seems like it is important for me to require renters insurance from the tenant.What would you say to a tenant as to why having renters insurance is a benefit to them?

I have never purchased an investment property, have minimum knowledge besides what I've studied on, and have zero hands on experience.

Have you had to foreclose on any property and has the investor lost any money?

It seems like a great platform (they call the sellers and vet the leads for you, then transfer the call so that you can try to work on acquiring the property).

In a tough market, it's easy to get distracted by all the shiny opportunities that come up.For example, to really focus on growing our real estate agent business, we made the difficult decision to stop buying investment properties this year.

I would buy an investment property with more money down for you, let them live there and manage it, and add their "rent" to an ownership stake over time.

Would it be better to purchase this for the appreciation to be able to refinance in two years to pull the equity and move into the next property and have this for tenants to pay off?
