Andrew Johnson That totally make sense...although paying for property management would eat into my profits, I think it would overall be worth it.

I personally don't like leasing machines as the split can eat up any potential profit and sometimes doesn't even cover the added water/sewer bill.

There is a $3 transaction fee, which you can either eat the cost, share the cost with the tenant, or have the tenant cover the cost.  

I would ask them to have the notary eat the cost or have the escrow eat it if they provided the notary.

Kinda like the story where the one little animal goes through all the trouble to make a feast and no one helps him, but they all wanna come eat...well we will still let them come to the feast because we love them!    

Constant turnovers, evictions & renovation costs will eat away at your profit.

Some offices truly work in a dog eat dog world and they will step on your toes to get a deal while others work great with one another and truly care about each other.

That's your job or a very trusted friend or relative.Repairs can eat you up if you can't do a lot of the small stuff yourself.You don't have to have employees.

I'd look for properties that sat on lots that could accommodate an addition without the addition eating all of the square footage of the yard.

However, this sounds like it would eat up all the profits.Thanks for any advice.
