Also they fixed a handle on  a sink that was leaking and replaced the flapper and chain in the 3rd toilet bowl.

Builders warranty is also something that looks great for an investor. 1 year covers materials and workmanship2 year coverage on all mechanical/ electrical and plumbing 5 year leak protection internal or exterior infiltration 10 year structural Love to hear thoughts on buying new construction?

I'm kicking myself for not paying more attention in my oil and gas law class!

Always looking for ways to improve the ARV, and have one upgrade that I'm on the fence about.The gas boiler for this 1920's house is pushing 40 years old.  

Possibly see if you can reroute the gas line from where it currently protrudes from the slab by running it along the wall through the studs or along the interior back of the cabinets.

It's not paying your bills or providing your with gas money (your cash flow does that...more on that in a second)...so if you have a use for that equity, meaning you can leverage it to gain MORE investment properties, then who cares what the fees are?  

Maybe you buy your gas with it every week.

Subterranean termites need to be killed where they live, in the ground.Remember that wet soil will also attract termites - so look for pipes leaking and plants/mulch that stay wet close to the building.In Florida, a wooden building that hasn't been treated for termites recently... has termites.

Whose paying  for the gas and electric?

I plan to pay off my debt to my NJ property by end of November to 'stop the leak' and then 1031 that and/or sell one China property to finance other purchases.
