Planning on living off of the positive income and then eventually on our investment.

That being said my residential rental will have a positive cash flow of $500 and I plan to rent out this other side of the duplex immediately and will have a balance of 600 to cover for the mortgage.

I've come up with a plan though.

I had planned to slowly build an investment portfolio on my own.

We already plan out most of our listings a good month or two in advance anyways.

So instead of waiting for the problem to compound until the lease is over, the plan is to replace the carpet immediately rather than try to muck with cat urine and get it 80% clean with various other solutions.

I'm considering adding this product for my short-term rental (STR) as well, but I plan to go directly to Waivo since I've already had a consultation with them.

But…he can make the buyer regret it if he doesn’t plan to move it.

****little about the deal that I’m putting together I have a piece of land that that is permit ready plans approved ready to build on held it my property with no lien.

I live in Lebanon, IL and this property is also in Saint Clair County in Belleville.I plan on managing this at first, but want to build a proper amount into my budget.What would you recommend for budgeting for in terms of good property management in this area?
