I have long term tenants.Would you replace a garbage disposal and repair the dryer (provided by me)if it is not working ?What if the dryer needs to be replaced?Would you do it as a landlord?

I went under contract for my first investment property yesterday. Closing date is 4 weeks away. It's a turnkey, single-family house, built in 2005 and doesn't need any improvements or fixes that I know of (pending home inspection of course). I'd like to have a tenant move in as early as possible. Obviously tenants can't move in until after closing, nor would I sign a lease until after closing. But how soon can I list it as available for rent and start screening lease applications? Do I need to wait until after closing to list it? If the contract falls through for some reason, and I have already listed it, what are the negative repercussions?

 Not answer to your question but where is this Turnkey property?

I know this isn't a typical posting, but, I'm also a landlord that owns multi-family in Asheville. This community knows everything real estate. I'm looking to rent a home in either Boca, Naples, or West Palm Beach from Dec. 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021. Currently live in NJ. Budget is around $10,000 per month but wouldn't mind paying less or could pay a bit more- depends upon the situation. Ocean front not important, golf not important. Safety, good internet connection, 4 bedrooms, nice people, warm weather is what I'm looking for. Any suggestions welcome and thank you!

Please check your message.

I hear great things! How could you complain about sugar white sand beaches! Do you happen to do vacation rentals down there? That is another option I've been thinking of.

Thanks for your input!


I have my own condo in North Naples and am looking for a long term tenant starting in August.

Naples,FL.The one and only place I would live in US

Thank you all for the information.I see that some brokers are trying to sell properties for future appreciation with minimal to no cash flow and I was concerned ..Probably a mix of properties would be the best.

Would you recommend in investing in markets where there is an appreciation in last couple of years but minimal to negative cash flow?

If yes can you please convince me the reasons to keep a cash flow negative property for appreciation purposes?

And also is this a common strategy ?

@Matthew Odou

I think the best place to start is where you have a job

You can look in an area affordable enough and do house hacking (duplex,triplex) and BRRR and do same thing in a different part of the city in a year..

Has anybody noticed the difficulty of getting approval for conventional loans ?I am in the process of getting a minimal loan for a house and have noticed many requests including proof of my 2018 taxes being paid..

Has anybody experienced any hardship in getting conventional loans?
