A smoke detector in every bedroom and a smoke detector and carbon monitor in hallway of every floor and in the basement or attic IF you have furnace, hot water heater etc in them.

So there are now 20+ people to connect with in order to get a clean marketable title, (none of these existing family members have any idea of the property even existing).

One of my clients recently purchased a 4/2 single family house that was positive cash flowing, hit the 1% rule, and was able to execute a full cash out refinance so it was a clean BRRRR!

The property in question has commercial space on the ground floor with two, 2 bed/1 bath units above.

This is probably the most up to date information you can get, you can get the data cleaned, formatted and skiptraced for pretty cheap using some new comers like GoliathData. 

It looks clean and bright and I never have to keep track of which color I used.

I usually spend my time, if the seller is present, keeping him/her out of the way if needed, pumping tenants for info, taking measurements for room sizes and drawing floor plans with doors and windows and noting appliances and taking pictures.We look for value add properties that are in decent structural and mechanical condition (except for one deal that we got really cheap).

It was quite extensive, all new electrical, hvac, plumbing as well as foundation, painting, floors and yardwork and demo of shed.

You own it until you sell it.To make the most money as a wholetail you want to fix unattractive things (at low cost) and clean and spruce up the appearance as a whole.

I have removed many hives from homes, out-buildings, between floors, etc.
