We’re currently working on a complete renovation in Silver Spring, so feel free to reach out if you need any assistance or guidance—I’d be happy to help!

Even in the nice locations, most top out around $2,800.Of course there is also your increased insurance, vacancy, repairs, CapEx, and the never mentioned reduced rent on the main house since having a stranger living in your backyard usually isn't appealing to most renters. 

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.

Personally I do not like providing appliances for tenants as the repairs and headaches start adding up.

Who gets to decide if a repair that appears to be needed is real or fictious, created to reduce the net available to the lender? 

If you’re looking to invest in properties that need rehabbing I can be of assistance.

You may be profitable, but I'd prefer to avoid the possibility of having to do unnecessary repairs or not holding my tenants accountable for damage when I know their actions might have caused any unforeseen damage. 

Usually companies are charging 10% on top of maintenance repairs, in addition to one months rent as a placement fee for leasing unit.
