@Alec Barnes As the owner of a property management company in Texas, I completely agree that a solid screening process is essential for placing quality tenants.

Are small-time landlords going to get stuck with less desirable tenants because the new stuff attracts all of the higher quality tenants?

Older properties with minimal depreciation deductions typically provide higher taxable passive income.

Can someone with experience in pre -foreclosures provide me some information or guidance? 

Hourly rate is a very poor indicator of whether a given service provider is "worth it".  

Hi,Is there any BP provided calculator which can provide a report as to how a existing rental property which was purchased say few years ago has performed in terms of ROI, Cash flow etc till date and whether its worthwhile to continue to keep in future.  

Highly recommend.

You want cashflow, its going to be on high risk assets not low risk assets. 

We’ve been using highly effective software that not only pulls clean and up-to-date data but also ensures we target motivated sellers with precision.We have a software engineer who’s also an investor, so we’re mining high-quality, verified data for key filters like absentee owners, tax delinquents, vacant properties, and pre-foreclosures—exactly what you’re looking for.
