We divided that amount in half and gave each tenant a flat-rate monthly water bill.

You should have seen the belly laugh.. at the time that county was so poorly run that titles would take on average 90 days to record .. so they had to offer gap insurance which was the first time I learned of this little nugget..

I am looking at a deal just north of Houston that is 2 4-plexs on 1 lot, and I wanted to double check on cap ex and maintainence numbers.All city utilities, flat roofs, built in 1966, updates have been done, some new ac’s.

Put the lumber flat on the wall, centered above the window, and screw it into each stud that you find. 

I would like to specialize in multifamily 2 flats - 4 flats, as that’s what I’d like to eventually invest in myself.I'm not opposed to working on a team as long as I get to actively learn. 

Has anyone successfully rezoned a legal 2-flat into a legal 3-flat in Chicago?

A taupe that looks warm and lovely in one house could look green and flat in another.

It can be a flat fee or a percentage. 

Lay it flat and put a bunch of dowels between them then when it's lined up, start pulling out the dowels to make contact, and roll it down with a heavy roller (or a can of something) to keep it smooth and keep pulling out the dowels as you go. 

Or at the least taking professional looking pictures and doing a flat fee listing on MLS, and willing to pay Buyer's agent 3% so you don't eliminate a large part of the market.
