Raise Rent to Market, Upgrade infrastructure and external appearance on a 5 year plan still cash flow positive.

I was hoping someone would have started a thread on this already but....What are your thoughts on the new proposal for monitoring transactions over $600, and how could this affect real estate investors??    

Sounds like there are things you need to update (grounded incorrectly) and things to monitor (fuse box) that could wait for a full update.

Also, even a 20 year old roof that most people would think needs to be replaced by the 25 year mark can often be nursed along well beyond that by monitoring it and doing minor repairs.

You all pay up now......Brandon needs the $$ for his new 'Infrastructure Plan'

I do think that some of the issues are due to differences in culture and infrastructure.

There are so many infrastructure costs that I know you have not considered. 

If it hasn't caused any major problems and does make s*** run uphill, I would monitor and let it be unless you just want to fix it and not have to think about it again.

Now its 24/7 1st responder monitoring $100/month & the tenants appreciate it.Had to learn the idiosyncrasies of a hydronic heat boiler system.

Side note: Contrary to popular belief, Debt to income does not affect credit score (as the bureaus have no way of monitoring applicant income for the sake of scoring).
