I'm a fan of less is more when advertising.

Even if the agent wasn't a part of any wrong doing or had any knowledge of wrong doing, I wouldn't want to be in that agent / brokers shoes having to defend myself.

I am holding about 10% of Gross rent out each month to account for some of the issues you mention ($995 rent = $100 /month)I actually sweep $447 into my "purchase" fund,and leave $100/mo in my operating account that also holds the deposits and pet fees.I replaced the toilet, sinks, faucets, plumbing stops, gas stops, full new a/c system (i'm in TX), and rebuilt all parts on HW heater since it was in good shape as well as replaced the ceiling fans.

I am a fan of the quarterly inspections, drive-bys (non gang related, ha ha ha), and if you break it you fix it.

I'm a huge fan of San Antonio, so enjoy your time there!

But I can tell you that I invest for cash flow, with an eye towards retiring and living off said proceeds.I've always been a big fan of leverage.

If a previous idiot vented a dryer inside, or ignored a leak or its because a wet basement, or something that you are reasonably be sure can be corrected, then put an offer minus the cost to fix it.Not a buff on the climate in CO, but a big exhaust fan and some mold spray or bleach might be enough.

That sounds like it moved the needle Account Closed I am a big fan of what I have seen of prospect now.

@J Scott thank you very well said, Henry M. let me guess a Cowboy's fan right?

So, I created a decent website , I ordered my business cards, ordered my first batch of 129 yellow letters targeting absentee out of state with 50-100% equity etc, created a Facebook fan page and getting serious "driving for dollars" for future letters.
