I'd like to bring him in to assist with the renovation expertise as well as access he has offered to his labor pool.

It is The most accessible way to get into an expensive market such as Seattle is via house hacking.

Lopez wants access to that data base/  As he knows they will be trusting of Norada since they have had good experiences with Norada on buying homes. 

What I Have: • Consistent access to off-market properties across the DFW-Houston region • Several land development opportunities sized for small neighborhood developments (think 20-50+ homes) • Strong local market knowledge and deal flow What I’m Looking For: I need advice on the best strategies to market these opportunities specifically to experienced developers.

Agree with all posted by Stuart & Corby, except about the Renters Insurance.We offer Renters Insurance to our tenants also and it's a special program only PMCs have access to and is a much better & cheaper "product" than tenants can get on their own.You have 3 options:1) Check the lease for a "transfer of management" clause to see if that can terminate those services.2) Negotiate with the tenant to terminate those services.3) Retain the PMC through the end of the lease.

Ideally you have a rental property close to an institution where people work/study like a hospital or university.With MLS access (need a licensed real estate agent), one can do a deeper dive into drawing more nuanced insights with some thoughtfully implemented real estate analytics.2) Property background - owner information, tax assessments, permits, and zoning data is generally available to the public and most municipalities have a "parcel viewer" that makes snooping for this a lot easier.

I would stay away from wholesalers on numbers unless they have access to the MLS and are working more of a traditional role as a realtor/agent as well.

Keeping your current house as a rental builds long-term wealth through appreciation and depreciation deductions, which lower your taxable income each year. .Selling now would let you use the $500,000 home sale exclusion (since you’ve lived there two of the last five years) to avoid capital gains tax and access your equity tax-free for the new home.

There’s also community access for fast answers when you hit practical snags (staffing, late arrivals, difficult discharges, neighbor relations, etc.).

I like to be within 90 minutes for ease of access as well as being able to keep an eye on neighborhood developments.
