On fixed rates.

They got fundamentally sound real estate, with matching debt (10+ yr fixed rate) and budgets with the intent to hold nearly forever. 

It had title problems that I fixed and it needed $100k rehab.

I recently opened up my SDIRA thru Equity Trust and am trying to decide which direction makes the most sense for me; purchasing a fix & flip property through it or dedicating the funds for PML to other investors.  

The tenant should pay for the bed bug eradication but you want to control "who" fixes the bedbug problem.

I saw the list almost a year ago and we started working on fixing every issue we could that was on the list so that we would easily pass when the inspection day came.

I let tenants know that rent goes up every year but I do not give them any fixed amount until a few months before the end of their lease.

Unfortunately, those are treated as personal expenses and aren’t deductible.As for the repairs and improvements, fixing leaky pipes counts as a repair and can be fully expensed in the current year.

Oftentimes the "immediate and highest return" evaporates once you get into it and start dealing with various issues that weren't addressed upfront or due to location (harder to fix). 100% agree with you!
