I've been working with rental properties since I was a youth.
I have my own rental property now in Las Vegas and I live in NYC.
I hope to purchase another rental property later this year.
My Las Vegas property is brand new when I purchased it. I looked in the paper and also found a real property manager. They manage my property for 10% of the rental amount. They are responsible for getting tenants and evicting them if needed.
When prospecting for the property, I looked at location to airport and strip (which is where a majority of the jobs are located) I also wanted to allow for equity gain, I found a property in an area that was being built up. I did not need a lawyer to complete this transaction but when I do a NY property I will. For the NY property, I am looking for something structurely sound where the only issues are cosmetic where some blinds, paint, and carpet will make it look nice. I don't want to have to buy a new boiler the frist 5 years I own the place.
I just go to the mail box and collect a check from them every month.
