If you find a property and aren't sure how to run the numbers, post about it here and we can give you some pointers.Good luck!

These schools actually look pretty decent, although with mostly 1-bedrooms, your tenants likely aren't families with kids.  

In my state they do allow payment plans, but I think once you default on a payment plan you aren't permitted to enter into another payment plan.

But it also depends on how organized you are, if you bring detailed records to your CPA and they can your taxes, account for any depreciation, possible deductions easily then it might be cheaper.If you bring a shoebox of receipts and little to no records and want the CPA to be your bookeeper maybe they aren’t charging you enough.ThanksLuke

That is when those who aren't liquid, or are over leveraged, could be in trouble

Especially if you aren't investing in the same place as others.What I did was take a look on VRBO/HomeAway and AirBNB in my market and then pulled all the comps for properties similar to mine.

My experience with title companies is that you typically get good service if you are closing at their office, if you close elsewhere with a notary they aren't allowed to answer any questions about the docs, etc...

Risers aren’t hard, thin boards, painted white contrast nice with a wood step.

We have trolled lots of wholesales to get our first fix and flip and aren't having a lot of luck.

I was also thinking about renting, but the tenants who tend to come in this area aren’t really friendly to the properties.
