Other Delaware markets I have been looking into are Newark and Bear.

Hi Chicago BP peeps, this is my first post here so I’m still getting my bearings straight haha.

Go to open houses, call landlords with for rent signs and talk with them, join a local apartment owner's or landlord's association.Getting the "maximum" may sound enticing, but you may find that going a little under the maximum the market will bear will get you a broader range of applicants more quickly, allowing you to select the best candidate from a larger pool - someone who may stay longer and be more reliable than the person who has no other options than to pay that maximum.Set your price and advertise.  

Go Bears!

If they are holding your rent money with other landlords' money in an interest-bearing account, they could be letting their pay sit in that account in order to accumulate more interest, which they skim.

You CAN'T achieve 30%+ returns consistently without bearing more risk. 

I have tried some fancy approaches to force the market to bear a higher profit than it is willing to produce, but each time come back to simple, bread-and-butter investing.I jumped onto the site and took advantage of one of these "awesome deals" and for the weeks that followed I saw shiny object after shiny object illuminate my inbox . . . not to mention some very powerful retargeting "educating me" on the "easiest strategy you're not using to make $14k a week" and some such.So, after spending my already limited time and emotional energy on two of these pursuits in as many weeks, I decided to can it and say "see ya never" to the gimmicks.That's my experience. 

The one benefit your mother has is she can stay in the house forever--so if she can bear it, the best financial decision would be to stay.

Go Bears?

Foundation suring is a bit of a bear though.
