Thank you all for your responses! I appreciate it. 

Hello Friends, 

I recently became a landlord, so still learning all the ends and outs. But trying to be the best landlord I can. 

My tenant just let me know her son was in the attic trying to get something they were storing up there and took a step that ended up cracking the ceiling below. 

I've never personally been in the attic of the house because it's unfinished and you'd need a ladder to reach the door. I had no idea they were storying things up there (she's lived in the house 10 years before I bought it). 

I'm going to get it fixed right away, but I feel like that's outside of normal "wear and tear" and would be her responsibility to pay for it since it's an unfished attic and not for people to walk around in. But there's nothing in my lease specifically about not using the attic as storage, so the other option is that I pay for it, ask her to take all her items being stored up there out, and draw up a clause about not using the attic moving forward. 

Wisdom and thoughts welcome! Thank you in advance!

Hello Fellow Investors! 

My husband and I recently bought our first duplex in Gentilly and it came with a lot next door. We'd like to build a nice single-family spec home on that lot to sell and use the capital for our next investment. I'm working on getting funding now which shouldn't be an issue. 

I'm reaching out for recommendations for honest builders with fair pricing who do quality work and who work quickly. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 

@Lamarcus M Anderson Sure thing! I tried to find you on facebook. Look me up!

Thank you so much @Braden Smith! 

I'll certainly check them out and read all the articles you sent. In your professional opinion would you recommend a renovation over a new build right now because of the cost of materials?

Hello Friends! My husband and I are looking for our first property. We're looking at lots to build on or a house to renovate. Does anyone know a strong investor-friendly GC in the area?
