Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: I’m exploring strategies to scale my real estate portfolio given the current mortgage rate Not sure much makes sense at 11%...Ouch....tough enough at 7.5%   Might have to put more than 20% down to finance....maybe 30% in North Texas.   

This is typically done 3x a year.Hire a company to deep clean the washing machine, drier, and dishwasher.Reimburse us for the combined 8 hours we have now spent on cleaning the home.Repaint the walls, at minimum in the basement.Prorate our rent for the days we are unable to be in the home due to the current issues and any repair time.Please let us know how you would like to proceed.Thank you,Sindy and Cary"You need a professional property manager!

I’m on the deed, not the loan for the current house I live in here in GA. 

If I invested 100K today, they are currently providing anywhere from 60 to 72% passive tax deductions due to cost segregation, depreciation, etc. 

Even if you are a US Citizen and live abroad you may run into issues as you are not currently living/working in the US. 

When I spoke with a real estate professional, she said the home would probably sell for around $250k in its current condition.

I'm based in Connecticut and currently looking to get into multi-family properties.

If extra sleeping capacity isn’t a daily need, replacing the current sofa-bed with a more comfortable sofa (or upgrading its internal cushions) can greatly enhance the guest experience.

If you're down to 95%, turn up the spend so you're getting in front of notices and current vacancies. 

Tenants should pay  utilities - they're consuming those and landlords should 'inspect' what they expect on a quarterly basis and that includes verifying that utilities are current.
