But in reality you might just want to think about using a standard savings account And taking a hit from inflation on the cash because the delta from the higher interest account to the regular account is not really that much on small amounts.

I've now used it twice.The program requires 10% down, must be a rental, no PMI, and has a very high standard of credit.Last I did it (Summer 2022), my rate landed in the low 5%.  

@Michael ReilmanKohler and American Standard both make great toilets, but Kohler toilets have unique parts that you can't replace at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Are there specific qualities or terms you look for that make the relationship a good fit for your investment strategy?

Maybe we got lucky in that department, or maybe it was just a quality built property.Happy New Year and best of luck in 2025. 

But occasionally we have issues and tenants need to be asked to leave or just decide to disappear in the middle of winter and it sucks.The worst part is I find the quality of tenant interested or willing to move this time of year isn't the greatest either - often times there is a reason they have to move right now since most landlords don't like ending leases this time of year.Either lower your rent or just hang in there.

On our first house we have a standard key and have an extra key onsite in a lockbox in case for any maintenance and lockouts.

Also, if you need a quality GC in the Charlotte and surrounding area please reach out!

When they eventually move out, I plan to do a full renovation to bring the unit up to high-quality standards and maximize its rental potential.I’m happy to connect if you ever want to chat.

I would say only 1/2 would make it thru their quality check for size and color.
