Basically this is a positive cash flow deal but just barely.

Nothing worse than a bad review about a dirty house.Stock the kitchen with pots, pans, glasses etc and at least basic seasonings.I provide paper products (paper towels, T.P. ect) I also provide coffee pot, filters and coffee.As you start getting reviews your listing will show up closer to the top and that will help you get more bookings and reviews.

Any tips or tricks to expedite the eviction?

Basically about negotiations . people have mixed thoughts on preforeclosures they will tell you being new to stay away.

If I am basically stuck with them should I get them to sign a lease and make it crazy strict and try to get them out that way?  

Hey Everybody,This is kind of a back-to-basics discussion here but I've seen a lot of variation in how much everyone is allocating for repairs/CapEx/both.

Actually i heard about couple of ways that make sense to me:-buy a single family fix it rent it kind of 8-10% net profit , is it something special or kind of basic at the u.s?

@Will Price I'm enrolled for a basic real estate appraisal course right now.

It took basically a year from close to list on a 1300 sq ft house. 

At the meetup there was a speaker who was talking about his success to financial independent and when he went through his list of rentals he bought over the years it left me with a lot of questions. 1: Most of his rentals he bought in B+ to A area's in the 300-450k range in Florida.2: His numbers just didnt make sense, one deal he posted it showed literally like a +$5/month cashflow only....So afterwards i started to talk to him more and he mentioned that he is not the type that invest in cashflow, he is a equity investor... intrigued me so i asked more questions and basically he went on to explain to me that he buys properties that need a little bit of work, but have built in equity in the deal, but he has 4 main rules he goes by... 1: If the Roof is greater than 10 years, he always puts a reduction in his offer for a replacement roof.2: If the A/C is older than 5 years, he always puts a reduction in his offer for a replacement a/c.3: If the house is older than 30yrs old, he always puts 10-15k reduction in his offer for a water line replacement.4: He refuses to buy houses with pools....Anyways after a bit of talking he explained to me that he buys larger 300-450k houses, because most investors are educated to not buy them, so there is a lot of room to wiggle on the deals due to lack of competition on offers and most people in that price range are easily able to be purchased with a few % out of the deal to skip agent commisions..Example he gave me, he recently bought a 455k deal for 405k, but the ARV 535k, because he talked them down in needing a new roof, and a/c and offered to pay cash instead of going through an agent if he would drop 4% off the price for that...
