Strike Plumbing ($6000 in worn out copper), fixtures (expense), Components (expense), Structure (unless you are in CA;), Countertop (expense), Paint (expense), and Landscaping (expense).

I decided to replace these components to ensure there would be less future problems.  

Low price is just one component of a purchasing decision.

I plan on making some spreadsheets so I can just plug in all the answers when I'm evaluating future properties (PM agreement, status of major home components/maintenance etc) so I can streamline it.

There are also things I wish Keller would have left out, such as the spiritual components.

We are looking at this RE investment as being a component of our investment portfolio.

The higher pressure is placed on ALL components of the system - toilet tank innards, faucets, washing machines, hot water heaters, etc.

In practice, this means we dump {most} surplus cash flow onto our mortgages and, when we find another property to purchase, we draw those funds back out via the LoC component.

Would splitting the sale price in the contract into components (land, business value etc) help and if so what could be those components?

If I am looking to purchase a $500,000 property, and need to raise $125,000 for the equity component from private investors (at 75% LTV), how do I entice investors without promising them any sort of collateral?
