Agree with @Engelo Rumora on a micro level the rental housing demand I'm seeing is enough to keep me dipping back into the well.

My conservative side demands more when I am not confident in the abilities with someone I'm working with.  

Demand upon yourself to make at least $200-$300 (or some other acceptable amount) net profit before repairs.

In desperation, I come to BP and ask for help: If anyone can share some experience in how to remove this nasty paid charge-off item from my credit reports, you have probably just saved my life...Thanks in advance,Michael

The demands and expectations of landlords is much lower on the 4 unit or less, residential side.Second, insurance is much easier and cheaper on the residential side.  

Hi Denise - I am a SFH investor and Investor agent in Boise.Like any market - it is widely varied in demand and pricing within a very short proximity. 

Location could also come in to play, if there is a shortage of rentals of one variety or the other then you may find that the property in demand is the way to go. 

But, if you are in a sellers market (more buyers than sellers) and you have a house that would be in high demand, I would recommend trying to get market value for the property.

The buyers demanded that these additional items be repaired.

At that point I stopped buying homes and went into a kind of hibernation mode as the property values tanked and desperately just trying to keep everything afloat.Fast forward to today.
