For those who truly want to come into the communities and improve the neighborhood  they find that urban governments are rolling out the red carpet.I would love to know what others think on this topic?   

Treat “potential rent” as noise.If it’s not rented today, and if the housing authority hasn’t approved it, it’s not real.We only use:• Current rent (if occupied)• Verified Section 8 payment standard for THAT bedroom countNot “after you add a wall.”Not “after a full rehab.”Not “after the market improves.”2.

Reserves for capital improvements are normally 10% but it really depends on the life expectancy of those items for any given property.

I’m a 30-year Air Force veteran, TX real estate agent, and third-generation real estate investor.

In cases where the renter needs help with credit score improvements, how to attack and manage this improvement.

Quote from @Angela Petri: I have a house I am currently making into an Air BNB, but I want to start buying duplexes, triplex, etc to build my portfolio.  

I had a similar experience recently and rather than renting an ozone machine I purchased an air purifier to run in the effected areas and Airbnb reimbursed me for this expense.

Focusing on 20–40 unit properties in Dallas is smart, and small operational improvements can really boost NOI.

Review Capital ExpendituresEnsure large repairs and improvements are logged correctly.

Don't walk through your park thinking how you are going to market it and improve it.
