$1500 probably isn't too far off, but likely the bottom end of rent range. 

If you want the FHA then 3.5% is your bottom end.

I live in the top unit and rent out the bottom.

I thought I was buying bottom of the electrical barrel with my 60-amp.

Single family 2Bed 1 BathRent 725 MonthTaxes 120MWater Bill 50Property management fee 10% 80 M  ( Rounded to make it easier) Expenses = 250 MonthSales prices 40KOffer- $30,000 40% down. 18K Owner financing for 5 years for $350 monthThat puts us at 725 Rent - 600 expenses = 125 monthly net gainNow property management I found someone who would do 5% on the rent.I can raise the rent after winter to $800 which seems very possible.

The remainder is placed at the bottom based on actual filing date to be paid out after the other positions above it. 

Trying to make out the sun at 6AM and come up with directions, is like trying to punch a square peg through a round hole... it ain't gonna happen.

Without any prior experience, you'll start at the very bottom, a grunt laborer, but you'll still see the nuts-and-bolts of the process.Nothing wrong with DIY Home Depot courses (especially when they're free), but you'll find working on a pro sub crew is worlds apart.

@Dakota Mivshek  go interview with agencies and let them know you want to start on a top producer team.. you will also see advertisements from top producers looking for listing agents and showing agents.. its a great incubator.its how many agents make the million a year they are a company within a company... plus the team volume goes to the top producer so when you see a top producer say he or she has done 100 million for the year.. that's the effort of the entire team.. they might have brought in 3 mil gross but distributed that to 5 to 7 agents working under them at usually a 50/50 split or so.. so the top producer makes their million a year.. and the other agents who are apprenticing get 40 to 100k a year pretty cool deal and now you have a top producer as your mentor... and he/she is totally interested in how well you do... it goes to their bottom line.. its the new way.. and one that Keller kind of pioneered but all good size brokerages will have teams in them.My wife who is solo did 14 million last year... on her own. its a great business once you put the time in she gets all business by referral.. did not spend one dime on marketing.. ask me how many wholesalers can make 400k plus a year and spend not one dime on marketing...

I am sure many of you are seeing rate increases that are hurting your bottom line.What can be done to reduce premiums and protect our investments?
