Hello all,I do a rent by room strategy outside of Denver proper, and in the past have been burned a common denominator of two tenant that I allowed co-signers were not a good fit.

My property manager then sent another technician who said the gutters need to be cleaned and recommended installing leaf guards around the entire duplex, along with larger downspouts and overflow guards, for a total of $3,013.

Note it doesn't apply to you if you are an owner-occupant in a property between 2-4 units.Plus, make sure you've held the security deposit properly...if it wasn't a special interest-bearing account, there could also be ramifications for that.It may be in your best interest to let those damages go and consider switching to a "move-fee" to avoid the security deposit requirements.

You will need to get an attorney to draft proper documents which will include information about what it is you are doing.raising money today is challenging as people are losing money in other deals and hesitant to go into new deals, especially for newer sponsors or sponsors without a lot of skin in the gameit can still be done but you need to have rockstar sales people.

Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊

It is easy to install.

These things can be accounted for with proper due diligence!

I do personally think that Section 8 can be a great investment if tenants are screened properly.
