Also, my city has 'combination sewers.'

Many of us get frustrated self managing and seek a property manager for various reasons.For me, it was a combination of problem tenants for one of my properties, then a few months later I moved across the country and came to the conclusion that hiring a full time PM would be my best course of action to maximize efficiency on my properties.

If you are looking to scale quickly, combining both may help you do multiple flips/fix and holds since you won't be depleting your HELOC each time you close on a property.

Really helped to clarify how unequal this partnership would be.The reason for the partnership is that we are trying to combine finances, since neither of us have a lot.

Not a good idea for some of the same reasons-high costs of purchase combined with inexperience and renos gone bad/out of control. 

I was using Farmers, America Modern and Foremost and none of them allow that option for condos.

A smooth finish is usually only requested if a homeowner is planning on wallpapering, but that's a whole other discussion.I personally like the modern types of texture, but I think it really depends on the other finishes in the home.

Notice it works in a mid century modern or a cottage.SW Alabaster is a warm color but goes with your tenants colors whether they're gray or beige and I'd only use latex so I wouldn't have to fool with oil.  

Investors will want to assess and analyze the combined/blended interest rate and payments compared to conventional purchase financing.

These updates modernized the property, improved its curb appeal, and significantly increased its market value.
