) - Aim for lease expiry in the spring ( vacancies will be shorter, monthly rent will be higher ) - Don't nickel and dime with minor rent raise when you have good tenants I have been blessed thus far ( touch wood ) to have 85% renewal ratio which is HUGE on your bottom line but this comes with planning and work.

@Jay Hinrichs would love to hear your perspective having lived in Madison as I recently listened to podcast #197.I look forward to being in touch and thanks in advance.

I'm not exaggerating when I say this property does not need any major repairs (at least obvious) or even paint touch ups.

One big impediment to the marijuana business in general is that it's still against federal law, and banks are not allowed to touch it.

When you said (put your gains) you did not get a check or touch the money at any point right and then put in an account?

@Joe Villeneuve words of wisdom indeed - couldn’t sleep after reading your comments :)Will be in touch for sure

I'm a buy and hold investor and realtor in Evansville so if you ever have any questions or need anything please don't hesitate to get in touch.

If the stairs are now stained I would leave it that way and only touch up what is already paintedI don't see any reason to do anywhere near a 10K make over.

I am not overly-handy (I never owned tools until I bought a duplex) - so far I've done basic electric (installing an outlet, adding a junction box, putting in receptacles, removing breakers, fixing a 3 way switch -- all things an electrician wouldn't touch -- or would charge a couple hundred bucks to do, cost me about 7 dollars - literally), replaced an exterior door, removed rotten siding and put up new siding along with replacing the plywood behind it, re-built the rotten framing of a garage wall, installed a ceiling fan, and just about a thousand other things along the way.

I wouldn't touch that transaction; if California has adopted the UFTA, that not only is a transfer not-for-value, but also a transfer to an insider, and should be rescindable, whether you keep it or wholesale it.
