I have seen few threads here that get jumped on with such marketing expectations as this one!

I also told them at application what I expected, and how the eviction process worked: Rent is "due on the first, LATE ON THE SECOND, on the third, or at the latest the 5th, their 3 DAY LETTER, would be "nailed and mailed", on the 4th day I would be at the JPs office to file a WRIT OF FORCIBLE DETAINER, and that once I had taken that step THERE WAS NO GOING BACK.It must have worked, between 1980 (converted my first house in Houston to a rental) and 1998 (sold and seller financed my last rental in Houston, I only got to the filing stage 3 times and only had ONE TENANT SHOW UP IN COURT to contest.

I just got a duplex and I want to know what I should expect to pay for someone to come in and paint the place.

In this case you could, with more certainty, add another bedroom and bath and expect to be able to realize or achieve the value from the addition’s expense as the more expensive homes around you will tend to pull the value of your home up along with theirs.Now the reverse is also true, so you must consider the opposite case that is called the principle of regression.

Wow - I never expected it.

Have a contingency plan in place if a unit remains vacant for a few months.Determine what a competitive rental rate is for your property by asking rental agents what they would expect to charge, by reviewing area rentals, and by personally visiting rentals available in the neighborhood.Run the numbers.

the no money down hype may be applicable in some situations. but i don't think its something a newbie should be expecting.. especially with challenged credit..

After I go to my first training, if it is everything that I expect it to be, I plan on taking 6 couples 3 times a year, at my expense.I'll keep you posted.

Is there a minimum to expect/max?
