I want to buy a four-plex within the next month before school starts full-time again for me online. Do you think owning and managing 7 rental properties while doing school full time is too much to take on? Or not real...

@Matthew Sipes To have a valid real estate contract: must be in writing, signed by all parties, and valuable consideration.

You can taylor the cash flow/equity built characteristics by selecting the appropriate style of investment.... ie., Core, Core+ style deals for cash flow or value-add/opportunistic style deals to assume more risk but build equity.But IMO, the best way to 'passively' build long-term wealth is to invest in prime properties in areas of traditionally high appreciation or try to identify areas that are appreciating (Austin, Columbus, Wyoming, etc.)

If you haven’t staged any yet, stage your own home and take pictures for a start.What’s important to me is responsiveness, ability to get the job completed efficiently, having an eye for what style of furnishings will show off the property best, having inventory options and reasonable fees for the clients.Much success to you!

If you didn't put that in writing, then the tenant may have the impression parking is included with the rent and you could get into a fight over it.Just let them know they are rented spaces.

Claudia,  I am in the Pocono area and simply want to advise you ,There have been lots of problems with STR in the area and due to thatmany  of the townships in Monroe and Carbon and Pike counties  are writing and enforcing  STR zoning regulations. 

Write a nitty gritty agreement as to: what are the steps for you to release money to he/she, who makes decisions, who is the boss, what do you need to buy, what happens when disaster hits...he/she has accident in the house...

.- They are as close to identical as possible in style, condition, age, location, beds, baths, living area, acreage, garage and basement specs, town vs private utilities, flood zones, etc.Finally, I'd like to be sure that the agent hasn't run automated comps. 

You can increase your chance of getting an offer accepted with FHA 203k if you show the seller that you are paying more than other buyers, have your 203k Team in place (203k experienced Lender and Certified 203k Contractor), and write a cover letter explaining your reno goals for the property and list your 203k Team members for reference.

Ideally I’d like to solely own it and be responsible for writing them a check monthly for their profit.
