I’ve had basic court searches turn up things that never showed in a report.These days I keep it simple.

Roughly what price range should I expect for a basic, reliable replacement?

Do you do regular documented walkthroughs or just the basic annual ones?

While that error was partially corrected, the following month Homebase cleared out our entire owner balance, leaving us short $570, which we had to chase down and was eventually paid in an off-cycle correction.Perhaps most concerning was the lack of basic property security oversight.

It is a good idea to really focus on understanding what comparable rents are like how much things will cost and the basics of figuring out a good deal.

To me, cashflow is basically like having insurance for your investment.

Even multifamily, you'll find deals where rent rolls are way below market just because the owner never raised rents or did basic tenant retention.

Traditional thinking was the formula 70% of ARV minus rehab/repair numbers.I like to use actual numbers and not basic formulas or rules of thumb as they can be off.

I think what we're seeing in places with rent caps is that landlords are basically forced to make the maximum increase that they are allowed every year which in some cases may be more of an increase than they would have otherwise made.  

If you can land a 6 month stay it basically covers your expenses for the year.
