I have noticed that investors who focus on rehabs and flips often find it helpful to have a clear system to track motivated sellers and off-market opportunities.

I'll add what I can:1) You can probably actually charge tenant for trash - if you can break it out from the property tax bill.3) Lease language needs to be very clear as tenants will try every angle to get out of paying!

Expect a data deluge that could reshape Fed expectations—especially with rate cut odds for December dropping from 90% to 60%.Despite the GDP hit, investors are refocusing on a resilient economy: earnings are solid, the Fed is sounding dovish, and trade tensions have cooled.

At least 50% of turnkeys are currently questionable.5+ years ago, values & rents were increasing, so it was easy for the turnkey flippers to deliver.Now, values are up, but not increasing that fast, same with rents.Turnkey flippers are getting their profits squeezed with:Higher purchase pricesHigher material costsHigher labor costsLonger holding periodsSo, many cut corners or prey on cash buyers to overcharge them, using hyped ROI numbers.Even the turnkey, build-to-rent investors are finding their properties are performing as expected.

They also alert me of suspicious people/vehicles or if the power went out.In some cases, I offer to do minor repairs to their house, or at a minimum have my maintenance guy clean their yard or cut their grass for free.

I clearly explained to him that until the tenant pays all, she is not my tenant. 2.

I walked him through the analysis and the answer was clear, it was well worth the additional capitol contributions. 

I’ve seen a few approaches that cut that time down dramatically — happy to exchange ideas if anyone’s interested.

Clear communication about expectations and deadlines can foster a more efficient process.

We sent that to the lender, it cleared things up, and we were able to close.
