I would like to have someone service the loan but most seem to want at least $45 a month which seems high. 

Additionally, in general, it would probably be good to find out how long the typical eviction takes in your area.

Now that home prices have stabilized, every month you hold a NPL it becomes less valuable because homes are not appreciating and time costs money, as well as additional incurred expenses like servicing, FPI, legal etc.

But most investors roll into a Debt Service Coverage Ratio, DSCR, loan.

Hey @Kevin Sierra, Given we are accountants, we cannot promote our services on BP as its against the rules.To help in your search:be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.

Agents are a great resource for the neighborhood insights you're looking for and are typically more than happy to take photos and videos of properties you're considering.

This is a Public Service announcement. :-) Not to worry, the public will move to where they can afford to live and that will affect prices up & down the scale. 

High cashflow, recession resistant like a plumping company or another core service company would be my suggestion  

I don't see that it would add appreciable value for the appraisal or for rent, AND when you go to re-sell you would probably want to tear all that work out and put it back how it is now as your typical buyer is probably an owner-occupant and would prefer it as it is now.

I don't want to be the middle man when there are problems with service delivery - let them deal with the service provider directly.
