@Joseph Scorese @Sue Z.

Only has two states, dry and wet and all it does is alert you when that state changes.In Wall Outlet – GE Z Wave Duplex Outlet.

When I send mailers for my business I use a normal 8.5x11 sheet of paper folded into a Z.

Over the years I accumulated a ton of experience on closing single family deals from A to Z and can handle almost anything from open to close.

If/when you are ready to invest, this works out great because you can offer to either buy those same properties all cash with quick close for $X or if they can spare more time list it for them at $Y - $Z commission, where $X<$Y-$Z.

So you plan on spending X dollar for down payment, Y dollars for closing, and Z dollars (reserve) to get the place ready for rental.

Payal Z., I am so sorry for the delay in replying, I hadn't noticed that you commented.  

I'm not sure why everyone is starting from Z (where do I buy notes) instead of A (what's my plan?)

Kind of like going to the doctor and he prescribes a Z-pack without ever knowing your symptoms!

No way the long term average capex is going to be $118/mo on a 2 br property ... you can confirm btw by adding up all the stuff that needs to be replaced over time and normalizing by its usable lifetime ... eg: roof $X/Y years + flooring $Z/A years .... = Capex expense, average over the long term.
