Hiring a property manager is a daunting task. REIs around the country are tasked with the idea of trusting someone else with their livelihood, and they are often coming to the decision that it is not worth the risk.

It’s no secret that I love rental properties. Sure, flipping and wholesaling properties might be fun. Notes and tax liens might have fewer tenants. The stock market might be more popular. But rental properties are my true business love.
The first step of the process is to ask yourself the following: Why do I want to wholesale property? What is it that I want and need? If you cannot clearly define these things, then stop.

Renting your property may seem like an easy way to increase your passive income, but upon starting the process, you may find it to be more complicated than expected. Your house may sit on the market for months without a rental applicant because it is priced above the fair market rent.

Some factors include, of, course, financial ones, including the necessary reserves, needed, for purchasing a property, starting with the down - payment, closing costs, reserves for repairs, upgrades, renovations, and contingencies.
Most of us, have heard, the expression, A house, is not, a home, but, we often, pay far too little attention, to that, before we commit to purchasing a particular house. Wouldn't it make sense, if, we spent, a little more time, and effort, considering, what would make us, consider it, to be, a HOME, and what emotional, family, and personal considerations, and necessities, might differentiate between, simply living in some house, and truly, making it, a home, of our own? With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly, review, consider, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, some of the key components, involved, etc.
