For those who carry debt on your properties: What are some suggestions for stress tests you put on your portfolio?

Well, it would be good time to get DEMO quotes and see if the city will give you a demo permit to do it yourself (they may want to test for lead.asbestos but even there you could just subcontract that part) and do the rest yourself if you have access to equipment and disposal facilityAS for what to do with this land, it seems you can put 8 units on it cottage style?

I am also looking for a tried and tested script to give to the VA to ensure that the messaging is clear.Thanks in advance,Sam

It would also be good to get some recommendations from fellow BP Members.A good test question to ask your future property management is to ask them the questions about the smoke detectors/placement.

He said an argument could be made that an out of state doctor is not valid, but we should not deny the animal unless we wanted to be a test case. 

You’ll need to sign and have the tenant sign an EPA form that states you don’t know if there is lead (unless you test, you don’t know, even if you’re pretty sure based on the age) and provide a pamphlet about lead in your home.

There's other options for us such as staying where we're at for another year after selling the rental; we'd be mortgage free, AND I'd be able to test the waters in an out of state rental market as I'd still be able to buy the first unit/home cash (we'll clear about $150k on the sale of our rental after paying off the note and other fees).  

They both offer Inspector Due Diligence inspections as well, basically a toned down inspection that looks for specifically problematic/expensive items... but they don't necessarily test every outlet and switch.

In IL the whole process with license, tests commuting other training, meeting broker, is probably close to 120 hours minimum. 

Or testing the waters?
