The tenant pool is not the best and it's difficult to find quality people that will pay on time and take care of your property.

No money in a pool that lends, make sure to be a direct investor and recorded on the deed of trust.4.

If majority condo owners vote in favor of the reassessment, then each owner will be forced to pay 50k to improve the building and its amenities such as the lobby, gym, pool, walkways, etc.

The reason is that during a downturn, many of the landlords will be competing for same tenant pool which will decrease rents.  

. $75 hoa does seem really low, but this condo is not in an A+ neighborhood or anything and they don't have any fancy amenities like a swimming pool, etc.

However, perhaps some of you (real estate agents, investors) in Las Vegas have intimate knowledge about whether it will hurt me a lot (smaller buyer pool) if some of my homes are tenant occupied at the time of sale.Thanks,Einar

Pick out the best ones, print them out, and share those with the appraiser along with some notes about each one and any adjustments that would need to be made (such as a different number of beds, baths, pool, garage, etc).

There are some really nice houses to share with pools etc. near the Center of Tampa where all the offices are.

In order to best serve my investing partners by minimizing risk and increasing the capacity for deals, I am now strongly considering pooling resources and opening up a Private Equity Fund.This is new territory for me and I am wondering if anyone has any experience starting or being involved with a Private Equity Fund?
