I think Jason's comment from his recent experience is a good warning, don't try it as your first go round and if an experienced investor, expect learning curves and problems.

I have hard estimates for the following:Roof:$9800Exterior wood repair:$2800Gutters soffit fascia:$3200HVAC:$24,000Electrical: $8800Plumbing: $7200Total: $56K rounded up.

Here's my understanding of your question and my reasoning (using made up rounded-off numbers/percentages):You already own rental property #1 (RP #1).

They told you to use the deposit to cover the rent, so you will be seeking a judgment for the damages that they caused, after they have moved.You may not have posted much lately, but I suggest you spend more time reading the BP forums to be better prepared for the next round of tenants.

Need to round down an 1/8" for inside mount.

I make the rounds on the 1st of the month.

Should the property go through the initial round of bidding unsold, however, all investors and homeowners looking for a second home can then participate in the process.

I have had some auditors let slide round trip deductions.If you simply drive from home to the rental and back that is not deductible.If you drive from home to the rental to Lowes, to the rental, to home.

Round 2 - edge Biden!
