One of the main reasons I have upgraded to an paying member of BP was because of the marketplace, and since the upgrade I have posted 3 property I had for sale here in Toledo, Ohio... (1) A multi unit that I sold through social media marketing (2) A SFH in a B- class working neighborhood that I told my mentor about whom ended up buying it(3) A Large 5bed 5bath home in the Historic Old West End (an A class neighborhood) that I have yet to sell but a local couple (that again seen it on another site) whom is pre approved plans to put it under contract after they learn more about the FHA 203k loan process.Now with other marketing sites I got a email or a call on each of these listings from investors EVERYDAY but I have yet to have any serious inquires about any of the 3 listing besides a few other noses/curios local investors that just wanted to check out the new competition in town lol.

My main goal is cashflow with my rental properties.

Speaking of electrical, I had about 6 service calls on a rental about the electric heat and AC ... they messed with the unit all kinds of ways but never fixed it.

Hello BP members,My name is Howard and I've been following Biggerpockets for about a year now, mainly through the podcasts.

@Rod JosephYour post states "Mortgage Expense" is that supposed to mean that monthly debt service is $2,600 or is that Mortgage + Insurance + Cap ex + Management + Repairs?

Be nice to your tenants by providing a quality product and service for the money they pay you.  

I've listed to at least 30 hours of shows while working on a flip house and did the webinar last night.I am a 3rd year Realtor in Emporia, Kansas, a town USA Today recently declared home of the the best Main Street In The USA.

Besides main residences and restaurant/bar/retai­l I've done many investment properties that have been made rentals or sold for profit.

Tenants are customers, customer service is what keeps people and retention is customer service driven.Prompt service, prompt maintenance, Clean building, good looking exterior and ground maintenance.Give people pride in where they live and they will stay. 

Great job my kitchen/main floor remodelI think I was getting ready to look at that quadruplex you just bought.
