Hi,Is 3 bed better than 2 bed. Is 2 bath better than 1 bath for rental properties. I see huge price difference there. Is 2000 square feet home better compared to 1200-1500 square feet home for rental. Longer term tena...

When I started back in 2013 renting out my first home, I never thought in terms of dozens of doors.

But we totally get hung up on deal analysis in terms of how long it takes to get an offer on the table, sometimes missing out on a deal with a competitor offer coming on the table. 

I have heard downtown Indy is the fastest growing in terms of the state, but how about the rest of the country?

Hi GP,15% down is definitely going to be slightly higher than 20% down in terms of pricing, fees etc.

It covers expenses like supplies and small things and then it gets reimbursed back from the net payout to the owners so each month there’s a net payout summary with a check for the owner, which includes all the bookings in minus the fees, taxes, and Amazon Along with the commission I am currently just using Excel to do bookkeeping, knowing the entire time that once it grows, we’re gonna have to grow with it in terms of technology.

I looked at purchasing places in DC and Dallas, but the numbers did not look good in terms of purchase price to rental price.

Does anyone have any experience within Indianapolis in terms of what the overall process would look like to do this and is it even worth legitimizing the basement as a separate unit?

@Randy Kinder Yes, that's what I was hoping you would say; however, I would recommend that you measure your returns in terms of IRR rather than ROI since real estate investment is generally a multi-year investment.What is your price range/down payment amount?

As a family, our priorities in terms of real estate investments are cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits.
