Hi,I was wondering what you guys have found to be an effective way to store your money as you are saving for investment properties. 

I read this morning that the Fed signals bond buying taper coming "soon" and interest rates rising between now and 2024.Does anyone have any thoughts on if this will effect the housing market, mortgages & borrowing?

In our experience, the #1 mistake landlords make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.

What market(s) (e.g. local and or out of state) would you select to apply these strategies and why?

Also, I noticed a little red flag that may effect future profit?

I talked to my property manager who has been in the business for 20 years and there was one property that he had difficulty effectively pricing.

An interesting side effect of that 3 years later is that we had a lot of homes that had a lot of appreciation.  

My suggestion would be to, instead of beating your head against that "below market" wall in hot markets, find a creative strategy that boosts effective income generation.

Then we hand pick a few people to send mailers to.Door knocking can be effective especially if you have something of value to discuss i.e. a recently sold, Under Contract or recently listed property nearby.
