Think of your savings on "normal wear and tear expenses" if you have a tenant that stays longer than the life expectancy of your carpet and paint.On top of that, you have administrative expenses and a few days vacancy on every turn to factor in.Get them in there at market and raise rents during renewal.I wouldn't scrap the appliances until they die, but it's amazing to me that landlord's never seem to see the long term ROI on making their units energy efficient when there is absolutely an upside.

So my guess is, the lumber tariff will raise lumber prices, reducing new home construction activity, further tightening an already tight housing supply. Long term, this means RE values will go up. This is just my surf...

Each street can be very different, one populated by doctors and administrators, the next street could have 20% boarded houses. 

However the administration and substance of the list is very rigid and specific.A contract is not required.  

Financially the deal has 4 points that carry the weight:50/50 after ALL costsa $10,000 fixed fee for the general, administrative and construction management expenseSince they are RE brokers too, a 6% fee as a commission for the marketing and sale fo the propertyIf my property becomes a 'pre-sale' or model to build another home for others by the GC , I would get 15% of the profits after all costs; none of my monies would come into play.

The administration wasted no time and has halted one of Obama's last minute legislations to cute PMI rates.

The 10-year treasury spike post-election caused many question marks in the market, but as the picture of what the new administration will set forth is painted, market sentiment will become more concrete. 

With a large number being mothballed.The new administration likely goes soft on new regulation enforcement, but with a very low price of natural gas, and general anti coal sentiment out there, I don't see a swing back to coal again anytime soon. 

My toolbox will also contain administrative tools such as an attorney approved lease and online rent pay.

I just turned 30 a few months ago, and currently work as a grant administrator for the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
