@Tonya F.I purposely tell all potential tenants that all adult over 18 must be on lease with background/credit checks.

My mentor / business partner who is showing me the ropes in RE is starting his own property management business after being in the real estate game for 13 years.He is offering me a job in said property management business as an on-call maintenance person, and also said he can pay me to do yellow letters for him (I currently send out a lot of them for my own investing purposes).He said he can either pay me for each letter, or a 10-15% commission on income from any leads I generate (so if I land him a property that he makes $150/mo on, I would make $15-$22.50/mo on each property. 20 properties = $300-$450 / mo total).Either way, he will pay for all the material and postage- so I'll just be taking care of the rest (printing, packing, sending).

Additionally, getting properties off the MLS here in Austin is difficult - at least for flipping purposes.

I really wouldn't classify a broker/agent selling 2 duplexes as a commercial broker/agent.At least not to me they aren't.2,3,4 units is residential property for lending purposes.

Comparables in the area according to rentometer.com was saying that yes, we could ask for 1100 if we wanted to.

I am looking everybody's $0.02 for the definition of ARV.When the typical investor is talking ARV (As Repaired Value)are they talking "Repaired" as in: A) repaired to average condition for the comparable house in the neighborhood?

mortgage will be about 750.00 a mo @ 20% of 200k Tax is cheap compared to other parts of NJ 400.00 mo.

.- This is what you do.Have a local real estate agent pull sold cash comparables in the area within the last 90 days.

Wouldn't that kill the entire purpose of what I'm doing?

Compare apples to apples and listen
