Over the past 3 months I’ve been a machine, listening to podcast episodes everyday, scouring the forums for posts to learn from, reading every guide I can get my hands on, and I’ve got several books in the mail that I can’t wait to read (Long Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene & The Book on Estimating Rehad Costs by J Scott). 

Plumbing from the "old" washing machine hook-up could become shower stall (tub is not an option).

I find manual dish washing peaceful , especially while listening to my favorite podcast. 

His only complaint after moving was he should have been refunded 4 days rent.Also in all the years doing rentals, the first time this happened.There you have it.

Wash, rinse & repeat!

I believe I have the upper hand being that he wants to wash his hands of this. 

Even so, assuming an additional $5k in expenses, you would still be creating $10k AND have a cash flowing money making machine. 

If you get this one at 80 and the next one at 70 they wash each other out and your right at your 75 if that was your target market.

With that low basis cost seg doesn't make sense since you'd probably see around $1K-$3K in tax benefits if they're in a higher tax bracket and the study would probably cost around $2K so it's basically a wash and probably would lose money.

I had a guy power washing the front of my house and sidewalk while there was someone in the house cleaning.
