Yes, I made enough, yes I got burned out eating, breathing and sleeping RE financing, yes I got a great offer, but no one makes too much money, I could open another office today with a short start up period, but I'm not going to.

Thinking of starting fresh with a background check, a new lease (they are month to month at present), letting know our rules and giving them our version of the "tenant guide" with what to do in case of XXX, how to pay rent, etc.Checked BP for articles and such but didn't find anything relevant, suspect its out there or if not can someone shed some light on things to ask for, watch out for, etc"Thank you in advance, have found BP to be an amazing resource, just finished listening to every podcast to date and now the reading starts!

If his calculation for rehab/remodel is off, market pricing and hold time, or inspection for red flags is off, it eats into his profits.

If you have to keep going to the store for little parts it can eat up most of your day.

We have a bunch of "weekenders" in the area.I mentioned the have-to repairs would be under $5000...mainly repair the soffit and facia on the front side of the home and new gutters all the way around, general clean up and landscaping and a fresh coat of paint outside.To update the inside the estimate is $15K...but it is very liveable as is, ex: the carpet is in good condition...but it's blue, the bathroom is in good shape but fixtures are bright yellow...the home is 80's dated but everything was very well taken care of.My fee is flexible but have it priced so I can cover closing (thought this might help to sell retail) and make roughly $10K...I left some room to negotiate.Suggestions on how and where to market this would be greatly appreciated, Craigslist is only generating tire kickers as is social media

Start fresh...

Especially when you have crazy tenants that look like they'll eat you.
