I don't want to ask an agent for they will want a percentage and anything they have access to on the market everyone does.

Like Mark said, you have to look at rental restrictions, HOA fees and what they cover, and also watch out for special assessments that might be coming soon like roofs, painting, driveways, that can add several hundred dollars a month to the normal HOA fees.  

I don't currently have access to the MLS as I'm not yet a licensed realtor.

This excludes the benefit of MLS access, seeing houses whenever YOU want, etc...

I am thinking loud and please hear :I have contractors rehabbers and landlords on my buyers list , I also have access to good deals right on MLS and other sources . 

Him signing a new lease is going to be a negotiation, and the odds of him coming up with a security deposit are very slight, and it would be hard to keep anything out of the security deposit when it comes time for reconciliation; I have a feeling that move-in and annual inspection documentation is sparse as well; the place "has always had a dog smell", certainly from the time that you collected the security deposit.Consider contacting Gary Link's office to take his "Landlord Class" which will give you access to his lease, (there is a cost for the class, not sure what it is anymore).  

Hi Everyone,I am not a real estate agent and do not have full access to the MLS.

We pay that debt down quickly because it is readily accessible for deals that come up and we really hate personal debt. 

I also have access to the MLS so sometimes it’s as easy as just getting the agent to bid and put the paperwork in.

A bust deal worst of all.Its a saying I made to help me always remember when Im in the rush of the heat of the moment (we all know that feeling, especially at auction :D ).Sometimes you just need to saddle up and ride off into the sunset onto a different region with better returns.Ultimately, its about making a profit, not about convenience, about simplicity, or about "ease of access".We didnt work W-2s because it was "convenient" we did it because rent was due on the 1st, late by the 5th, and evictions occur 35 days after lol.Investing requires a high amount of discipline, and the consequences are high.
