Learn how to determine the perfect rent to charge so you attract the best tenants in any market. The mark of the true amateur landlord is a monthly rent that has been set by rule of thumb! How often have you heard that rents should be 1% of the value of the house? Yet how rarely do they fall into that range? How many times have you talked to someone with a chronic vacancy problem who has set his rents by rule of thumb, or worse yet, by HIS monthly mortgage payment amount? There's a better way...
There's little difference in finding Lease and/or Option opportunities and in finding properties to buy. I prefer to 'cold canvass' neighborhoods on foot and through flyers delivered door to door. Most other people mine the newspaper advertisements for hidden gold, court house records and 'bird dogs' that turn up motivated Sellers. All these sources work with Leases and Options if the Buyer/Lessee/Optionee takes the time to delve into the motivation of the other party. But there are clues all along in the process.

Oh the property was O.K. - good school district, low crime neighborhood, rising incomes, lots of public facilities, near jobs and main thoroughfares, shopping and conveniences, public transportation. But the house itself - UGH! It needed wall repairs, windows, central heat and air, landscaping and shrubbery. A home-made garage had to be ripped out and the carport re-built.
