The note is $465 so I clear $535 a mouth.

Nice post.I guess I have a big mouth.  

If that works for you give it a shot  That's a good point, but the last contractor I used ran out on me so I've got a sour taste in my mouth.

You'll probably be happier and freer than all of us schmucks with mortgage payments to make.If your goal is to build wealth and a higher rate of return, leverage the properties but know that you'll be a slave to the mortgage company for as long as those mortgages exist.Only you can make that decision.

Word of mouth referral is and will always be king IMO.  

He came word of mouth.  

Contractor(s): Word of mouth through friends.  

So, in this case, I suggest you go the horse's mouth.

So, unless we are highly leveraged on a new acquisition with an assignment of rents as part of the agreement with the lender ... where this coverage makes the lender happier ... we plan to handle the risk of a lost revenue stream on our own.

This can produce added benefits for the landlord; the longer the term can translate into a happier tenant, which has many positive benefits, such as a better payer and the property receiving better treatment.Are you concerned about being “stuck” with an undesirable tenant?
