Have you ever signed an agreement with a realtor to find you a tenant?
I did and now I am getting more interest with craigslist and rent.com than weichert.com.
Are their pros and cons of signing with a realtor to find you tenants?
Thanks for your help.

never used a note
what is the best internet site to learn more about notes?
I am still trying to find a tenant with my first property.
I don't want to move to property 2 until that is done.
So trying to learn now while waiting.
I signed with Weichert they get a month's rent to find me a tenant.
I am surprised how little they are working to find me a tenant.
I signed for the section 8 housing , I assumed that I would getting more offers.
I check comparable rents.
I have a better place and better location then others getting similar rents.
Thank you for your help
Well I got no real bites so far.
When do you start to worry that your rental is vacant.
I can buy the townhouse outright , I am not worried about the mortgage at all. I have more than enough funds for it to be vacant forever but......
But when do you lower the rent price?
When do you start to second guess yourself?
I have an agreement with weichert to find me a tenant and they get one month. But I don't see them killing themselves trying to find me a tenant.
I appreciate your help.
If you want to take a look

I don't want to move on to another investment till I have a tenant in this one.

It would be very hard to find one property in my area where this could be true.
any 2 bed 1 bath condo is minimum 200k in my area, and we are not getting 2k a month in rent, i trust you.
i know i have looked.

doesn't cashback at closing meaning you are just spending your own borrowed money.
i see alot of people screaming i got cash back at closing.
aren't they spending their own borrowed money?
like taking a loan for 110k for a house paid for 100k, they got 10k back at closing.
its not like the money was free and clear, you have to pay that money back.
i currently have 2 properties with a mortgage on each, every spare dollar i can find goes to paying down those mortgages.

go to any realtor and they have access to a list of what sold, what is on the market and the key stat I can not get on my own, how long each property and each rental is on the market.
that is why I am an investor but I use a realtor.
what city and state is the property?

Do you get a copy of the actual social security card?
Or do you run credit on their social security number?
Thanks for the help
should I be happy if I buy a property for 187k and the tax assessed value is 230k?
Or just don't worry about the tax assessed value?
