@Jackie Liu I have a table in my lease that lists all the utilities and then they are marked as to if the tenant pays them or the landlord pays them.

Sounds like you already bring some great experience to the table.

Use an amortization table to see exactly how much principal you need to refi.

My husband and I are on the other side of the table -- we have a property in Virginia Beach and we were looking for somebody to do the Arbitrage, because we don't like the current PM and we have zero desire to manage it ourselves. 

I don't know of any title agency that would handle a closing like that since you wouldn't know the amount of funds needed to bring to the table until the minute you do the signatures....but maybe you can find one. 

I am planning to convert the living room in the property to bedrooms and want to use the garage as common space (have a pool table or a Foosball table, a couch etc).

One upside to me would consistent rent scale, meaning if you upgrade one unit early, you set the table for all of the units when done because they are all the same.

Adding amenities like power, water, and a barn or pavilion could increase its value as an event space.Farm-to-Table Experiences: If agriculture is possible, create an on-site farm-to-table business where people can visit, harvest, and eat fresh produce.

I've built a pivot table of brand name vs. cap rates per state, and I am starting to see some of those patterns emerge.

At the table her lawyer wanted  half of the business , 5 million dollars .
