My opinion is that rates will be reduced in by 1/4 pt in Sept with the intent of shinning a positive light on the democratic party.

Many of us started out using this strategy, and have continued to implement it with numerous nuances: House Hacking with an STR in your basement, renting by room in a SFH, and most traditionally in a small multifamily property where you take one unit to yourself.

In the apartment industry, typically $250-300 per unit per month is held by the banks in escrow, but R&M can be much higher - Utilities - Is there any common-area lighting?  

I’m excited to dive in and start implementing these strategies.

We added a door that we deadbolt to separate our side from the airbnb side, and I had to have some electric outlets and an overhead light to the airbnb side, but other than that everything was updated already and we just had to furnish the property which was really nice and made the process pretty easy. 

I will balance this by purchasing hardware, light fixtures etc. on amazon.

I have never needed to implement one but we now have enough equity to make use of it.

-Sauna-Hot Tub-Patio/courtyard (large cement tiles on crushed bluestone with lighting, natural gas line to bbq)-Secondary patio off primary suite-Losing sq feet in the primary bedroom to enlarge the bathroom-High grade cabinets-Appliances with cabinet fronts-High end appliances (Viking/Miele instead of GE Cafe)-Outdoor shower (teak box walls with a dry well beneath the footprint)-Wiring for Cat6 to every room-Wiring for surround speakers (or including the speakers that are built into the walls)-Sonos whole-home audio system-Hardwired cameras (with on-site storage) to the exterior of the house-Smart features: thermostats are a given, but how about light fixtures, switches, aromatherapy, fans ... anything else?

The guy who quoted 70K said that I should tread lightly because he sees many issues throughout the home potentially.

I am hoping someone can shine some light on other skip tracing resources I could be using, to get contact info on these properties.
