Attaching a premium to a month to month contract will either motivate them to sign the original or the m2m at new rate goes into effect.

Metal roofs are highly recommended and should last for a long time I'd want everything to be gone form the old roofing and everything inspected properly before the job gets started.

Marie is an old city with a high vacancy rate, declining population, poor tenant quality, and will never see any meaningful appreciation.

Since the LLC is "disregarded" for tax purposes, all of the income would effectively be reported on the parent corporation's 1120S during year-end filing.

Which means I will still need to finance about $400k for each property at about 9% rate (the rate is high because we'll using a commercial loan as we'll be purchasing the properties under an LLC).

Many agents will place the first applicant with the necessary funds, take their commission and leave you high & dry with a bad tenant.YOU SHOULD DO YOUR OWN SCREENINGS! 

These are some things to consider and they might effect rent. 

The more you learn the more effective you will be.

@Will Boller I would highly recommend Hostfully.
