Thankfully I was able to sell both houses and stop the bleeding.During the sale process I found out than one of my houses had a baseball sized whole in the roof and the other had two AC units that were not functioning along with mold that had to be remediated.

Fees are through the roof. 

We focus on CapEX before beauty. as a realtor we understand selling or renting homes you have to make the home function, Roofing, windows, electrical and plumbing. after we address these we focused on beautify making sure the upgrades match the area and is forward thinking with color scheme, flooring, and flow.

Additionally, Chase Ink Business Preferred offers competitive travel rewards and may pair well with their banking services.Bundled Solutions: If keeping everything under one roof is critical, you might explore Silicon Valley Bank or First Republic Bank, depending on your location.

To avoid the risk management/insurance that comes with tenants' wood fire use:I'm thinking to seal the chimney cap on roof and run a cord putting an electric Infrared heater fireplace in there, so they can still open the glass and get heat and watch TV over the mantle, but can't burn anything or have any flame.

If before getting a permit you have to dance around for Code Dept officials/ city gov and crime is thru the roof, investments will definitely be low whether real estate or other, but it should be benefiting the city officials to keep things that way.

Ready REI later clarified that “turnkey” means that the minimum has been met in order for a tenant to live inside the unit; it does not mean that the outside of the unit is in good condition (eg the roof or porch).

Building for the larger cabins went through the roof.

And if all houses have not been fully rehabbed (we do fulls on every buy), some expected number for capital expenses should be included in that (IE if you have 3 years left on your roof you need to be deducting $X from that figure, repeat ad nauseum for all major capex).
