The investor had $400,000 tied up into 7 vacant homes in need of rehabs and 2 occupied homes…[Read more]

I’ve seem many times a tenant placement company will put someone in right before the property is sold so there is no track record of payments to look at.

If possible have someone go out and evaluate the property, Ideally when the…[Read more]

If for some reason you are party to a lawsuit and all the properties are owned by a single LLC your potential losses could be very great. If you establish an individual LLC for each property…[Read more]

I know some unethical companies will route their tours around the bad areas very close to the houses they are selling.

I’d always suggest doing your own research even if you do go on a…[Read more]

I know an investor that owns a couple hundred houses, he and two other employees collect rent in person every month. He has very little issues with any tenants because they know he isn’t fooling around.

That of course doesn’t mean there are no opportunities in Austin, just not many international buyers looking there (Florida accounts for almost 40% of Foreign Investor market) Hope this helps.

In the Detroit market some property managers in neighboring cities expect the r…[Read more]
