(FWIW,$8K on just the compressor seem excessive.)Otherwise, unless your contract with your GC says they will provide 24/7 surveillance, or you can prove the AC was never installed, you own the problem.If the property has been vacant for more than 30 days, most policies won't cover vandalism unless you have added a Builders Risk Addendum.

Property values soared high in this town since past 7 years.

I have worked with a number of investors who have moves on properties in the Charlotte area.If there is any way I can help let me know and best of luck. 

Has anyone added extra bedrooms to a multi-family property to increase rental income?

This is a great look cost preventative maintenance thing It also allows you to "inspect" your property periodically

Let's say I want too go out and network where would I find investors and lender's that can help with the first down payment on a property and is there any events that has REI and CREI.

Purchase price: $420,000 Cash invested: $120,000 5 bedroom 2 bath property with pool, shed and playground in the backyard.

Because of the interest rate of the original VA loan, the cash flow of this property isn't as high as our other one.

I will then use my current home I am moving out of as a rental property. 

Hi Gina,After managing hundreds of properties and working with investors for over 20 years, I can definitely appreciate your background and the systems you’ve built—especially having three contractor teams ready to go.
