Quote from @Miguel Del Mazo: It basically says that if the electric bill is twice what the same month's bill from last year was, the overage will be charged as a fine.That's a good barometer actually.

I have flipped about 8 homes, we had a plumbing issue on the last home that finally got resolved....but could have turned south if it was not.

The other one has probably only been connected 3-4 months of the last 2 years.

My house was the last street built from previous construction.   

This period typically lasts for the first 20 days the property is listed (30 days in certain states).

For example, I often see Buyers purchase property thinking there is a $1,000 deposit but then the tenant claims it was $2,000 because they paid the last month's rent.

@Manjari Pandey noted.Yes agree the reservations for April have slowed compared to last year.

The loans were varied and some were able to close sooner than others and they wanted to close before the others but we held out because we needed to close all of them at the same time to avoid any last minute standoffs or complications.

I currently have one property that I have been house hacking for the last year and have saved up for a 2nd investment property.

Tiling your tub surrounds to the ceiling not only looks nicer, but also helps waterproof the area better, and will likely never need replaced (versus vinyl surround which last about 3 yrs before tenants start cracking them, in my experiences).
