Understanding labor availability and costs is a major challenge in such projects.Operating Cost AnalysisOperating cost analysis is used to measure the expenses associated with running a property, such as maintenance, utilities, and taxes, to evaluate the profitability of a potential investment.

I need to write up a cheat-sheet demonstrating why investors should evaluate their ROE every year.

Aside from that, having partners may allow you to progress faster than you would on your own as you are not likely full time in the biz yet might not be available all the time to drop your life and take care of something investing related but with partners you can address those issues more easily.Many people have had great partnerships.

Currently, I am trying to evaluate a strategy to build a portfolio of income properties in the Greater Atlanta Area.This thread is to pick your brains and to get ideas/ feedback for a "general strategy":So far, I have been reading about "buy and hold" and it seems like a pretty straight forward approach.

We also let neighboring tenants know to call 911 for crimes in progress or endangerment to life or property.

In our practice, any property 6-units or greater in size is evaluated (cost vs benefit) for fitness to be sub-metered.Once you sub-meter the water, you can hold tenants accountable for their consumption.  

I can guarantee a 900 sf 1940 frame in West Oak Cliff (Dallas County) should be evaluated completely differently than the same house in Iowa Park (Wichita County).There are a number of counties in the Panhandle area that have had auctions recently.
