I'm a licensed architectural engineer with 8 years of experience practicing mechanical, plumbing and fire protection design in Baltimore, DC and the surrounding areas.

6- Also, is it good for a newbie to have a RE license for VA, so that it can help in acquiring houses?

I decided to take an online course to meet the pre-reqs for my RE license.  

I just got my broker license.

Hello All,I am a License Loan Originator in Houston, TX and I am coming across situations where I have clients that are distressed sellers.

Operating expenses if run properly should be about 35% of gross rents on a small building like that giving you roughly a 9% cap rate.

I'm not licensed in TN, so I strongly recommend that you talk to a TN lawyer about this. 

I think you have to find someone else - sounds like you are at a firm where the partner isn’t properly overseeing your account.

Just want to make sure I am on the same page...Keep in mind when thinking about property managers, they have overhead of conducting business, including employee wages and benefits, hardware and software costs, utilities and rent for their office location, insurance costs, licensing costs for their employees plus the time and effort put into maintaining compliance with applicable laws regarding third party management of real estate assets.

Today, I'm happy to report I have no mice, the gutter is not doing more harm till it can be properly repaired in the spring, the bathroom and kitchen were repaired for $140, new, qualified tenants are moving in on December 1st under an enforceable lease, and the rent was raised $25/mo.
