1. Property taxes. Keep the property for a few years and you may experience an increase in property taxes especially if your taxes reassessed during this period. Saw some hot real estate markets taxes nearly double in 5 or 6 years.
2. Reload expenses. Bought "fixer upper" at a bargain. And your project once completed able to recover costs and make a profit, especially if the value of your property is higher than renew in your area? In addition to this, you can make a correction of property prices?
3. Insurance and mortgage costs. Will pay more for insurance if you do not occupy the residence and your tenants. If you are financing the property you know that your mortgage rate is higher as well.
4. Rental pressure. There is a saturated market rents means that you can load rents will be lower than what you had hoped for. In some markets, you are required to obtain a license to be the owner.
