We are so lost as to what to do with the money.

Our attorney told me just return the money as the brain damage of going to court and potentially losing (court is really just rolling the dice - small claims court is not about justice and the law but what the "judge" thinks is "fair") is not worth the possible gain.We always sign a lease and any funds paid are first applied to rent and the SD is collected last.

The other route you can look into is purchase+rehab loans if it's going to be a primary, if it's an investment then using hard money, bridge loan, or DSCR.

For me, it has to be a data-driven decision: what is your current NOI, what would be if you replaced the boiler, how much will it cost, and how long will it take to get your money back...If the area and marketing don't warrant central air, I would NOT do conensors right away and just focus on the forced air.

I see a lot of newer investors getting into the market thinking flipping houses is easy money.

What have been your experiences with Skip tracking software.... which do you feel has the best features for the most value for the money?
