Hi @Jibran Najmi, yes I have been in communications with my realtor constantly.

I don't know there's a way to get around it, you'll always be happier with your tenants in the property, etc. but it's a constant first year "lesson".

I'll be the person that constantly beats the "lock in cheap money" drum.  

But if you're persistent and constant, at the end it will be worth it.

If you are dealing C/D class tenants you want to be considerate of their situations because they don't have the means for excess fees and constant rent increases but still deserve a good place to live. 1) Know the law, make sure you don't interfere with their quiet enjoyment of the premises, but also make sure they respect their neighbors rights too. 2) Hold them accountable.

For the pennies I pay for them- I leave them in bathrooms at target, libraries, gas pups...Not constantly obviously.

I am usually not one to complain, however, this has been SUCH a bad experience and constantly just one thing after another.

Most homes rent for less than 1% of purchase price in our market.As Brandon and Josh constantly say on the podcast, if you drive a couple hours from your home city, you will find a good opportunity.We then focussed on some surrounding areas only to be less than excited about what we found and the prices remained higher than we were willing to pay.As I started to slow the search down, we found an emerging market about 3 hours from our house...Augusta, Ga.  

This is then adjusted for a millage rate for county and city limits.So, assessments aren't related to current market value since the market is constantly moving and assessments don't update that often compared to market movements.If you want understand the market value you have to search for comps in the area.

Also, cash flow is not constant ... it tends to follow appreciation because rent increases are driven by similar supply and demand fundamentals as price, yet most other expenses do not scale as such.
