As an agent, I sometimes help my clients rent specific properties by putting them on the MLS. 3) Location location location - the best rentals are close to jobs or other attractions/amenities.

I have a client that has an investment property that is a duplex and they are selling that duplex and want to do a 1031 Exchange for a multifamily apartment building with 26 units.

That would just get me another client and another pay check.

It's very possible to get cash flow and appreciation, but as a foreign landlord you'll want local knowledge in the market.

Will your client on your current listing wait around in escrow with all contingencies in place for six months while the buyer mucks about with this HELOC nonsense? 

I've done is several times, hundreds of my clients done it as well.

@Ryan Howell - I only compare like properties when giving estimates to clients.

Our clients are always happy with his work. 

The only thing I do is post pics of the rehabs I complete for clients and sometimes rehabs I complete for myself (no one knows the difference of who owns what) on IG, no mention of dollar amounts.I am struggling with the realization that I am losing a lot of friends from college by being very successful but I damn sure am not apologizing for it.

Half of my clients have bought from out of state, often through one of those programs, and I'm left doing the cleanup.
