Amortize your major repairs (roof, hvac, built in appliances) and add an estimate for small maintenance.This feels not terrible to me.

I dealt with evictions, unexpected repairs, and the ups and downs of tenant relationships—but I also made huge strides in improving the property’s value and financial performance.

I talked to numerous California investors in real life and phone/Zoom calls who have lost money in far away OOS markets, mostly Midwest markets (e.g. repairs, capital expenses, bad tenants, properties vandalized while under renovation, evicted tenant stole all the appliances, property managers with high fees or overcharging for repairs).

You know what was given to you, be thruthful about it like you were on our phone call. 

I answer my phone 24/7.Seems to either impress people or surprise them....

@Apurv Asthana I usually keep high deductibles and low premiums on all my policies since I wouldn't file a claim unless absolutely necessary...usually I can get things repair at good pricing. 

Knowing exactly what’s happening with the duplex—rents, repairs, tenant feedback—can help you catch issues early and save time, stress, and money in the long run.
