I've spoke to various loan officers they say gas and office space in my home for sure, as well as depreciation but what about A) repair on rental property (electric/plumbing/roof)?

Second, if they still go off when there is no smoke I'd replace the living room smoke detector and see what happens, it's a cheap fix.I don't know enough about electrical to advise what happens if the smokes are wired to the same circuit as the stove (it would have to be a gas stove to be on the same circuit, because electric stoves use 220v and can't be on the same circuit)

But after reading another post on here about smells emanating from the crawl space.I am wondering now is it more than just smokers smell.It doesent smell like moisture. but I can now tell it is coming from an area between the kitchen and the living room there is a boiler there with a leak. the catch pan is full so most likely the boiler was leaking into the crawl space.as the catch pan over flows.However when I open the door to where the boiler is there is absolutely no smell in there.

One question for you guys, how expensive is it to partition out the gas/water to each unit if it isn't already done?

My current improvement plan is: new roof - its really old and several shigles are gone new flooring throughout - currently concrete new paint in and out - 50% brick/siding ext repair siding on chimney - has rotted away due to water damage new water heater new AC/Furnace repair sheetrock water damage from plumbing leak replace kitchen appliances landscaping replace garage door - wood rotoptional items would include: replacing various fixtures - which ones?

Learn from them and build up your bankroll until you can start up a well funded marketing campaign.OR2) Find an investor/rehabber to partner with, and have them fund the marketing, and they get first dibs on all deals, and a cut out of anything that gets wholesaled. ( This one might be tough unless you have a relationship with someone like this already)You could also door knock, this only costs you time and gas money.When I did my first few deals as a real estate agent, I needed tons of help along the way.

The septic could be fine asis could have a leaking tank that is not to expensive or could need a full replacement that could get costly depending on type and the soil on the property.

(Needless to say, this is not-for-profit and so there is no membership fees...just the cost of lunch and gas).For example, I volunteer to help anyone who is interested in wholesaling houses and buying apartment buildings.With so many Chicagoans joining BP, I think this meetup group will have enough critical mass to be of valuable help to its members.Thoughts?
