Thank you for your input.Keep a cheat sheet for your property(ies) with color brand/codes for each room and common info needed such as appliance info, fridge opening HxW, etc...Paint should be standard sets of colors for all the properties you have.Flat means hard to clean, repaint it all.

Quote from @Joseph Bushnell: I'm testing out the idea of building a data center and I was wondering if anybody has heard of owning the building and having a third party operate the data center itself.  

These would be bare rental units where tenant builds to suit or we could with appropriate rent charge.

List Price: $475kPP: $465k DP: $23,250Closing Costs: $0 ($14k seller credits) Negotiated seller credits & a brand NEW architectural roof.

experience: I’m on my 3rd flipage: early 40sday job: brand and web design/development retirement savings: noneI want to learn about buy and hold to secure having SOMETHING for retirement!

New build maybe a bit aggressive getting into real estate unless you have a builder as a partner in a deal to see the full steps or stages that go into new builds.Why new build?

If you go in that direction, I highly recommend speaking with multiple franchisees from each brand before making a final decision.

This was a cost-effective way to meet our requirement of providing just a stove and refrigerator (we don’t include washers or dryers), without breaking the bank further.But here’s the twist: If we were upgrading appliances for a long-term tenant with a stellar payment history, we might invest in brand-new appliances.

We also have one LTR in Wilmington , NC that we bought brand new and have an excellent tenant in.  

Get knowledge, follow experienced people, and leverage wisely.My Take:If you have two houses, excellent credit, and motivation to build wealth, you can learn to manage your money responsibly.Use HELOC, credit cards, and business credit funding to leverage your cash and buy properties faster.
