"Most people only see the pictures and the price in real estate…

But the real problems?

You don't see those until it's too late.

Behind fresh paint can be old roofs, bad plumbing, or electrical issues.
That 'new renovation'?

It might be unpermitted work that won't pass city inspection.

Online rent estimates look great…
Until you realize the neighborhood can't support that rent.

And nobody talks about tenant history, drainage issues,
or city violations waiting for the new owner.

This is why real estate isn't about finding a deal.
It's about knowing what to look for before you buy.

If you want to avoid expensive surprises,
work with someone who sees the problems before they cost you money."

That means the 1st tenant stayed for 16 months and paid their rent on time and took care of the property. We had to add $2200 in the property to get it back on the market. Quality tenants create easier income and less money out of our clients pockets.  

The new lease on this property was from am existing tenant that has stayed in a property for over 4 years and wanted to stay with our property management. The relationship with the tenants and being consistent on keeping our properties nice really creates income for our clients. We also got another $150 a month or $1800 a year.
