Well they asked me to come over and take a look at a new tear spot on the stairs and asked if they put $1000 towards the carpet if they could get it replaced.

Do you have a sweet spot?

I’m also privileged to have an amazing agent who helps me find the right properties that hit the “sweet spot” for what renters (families) are looking for in SFHs.

We will raise 9 months of principle and interest reserves (along with the funds to close and Capex) but I want to have a clear picture of what each month will look like so we can plan for any weak spots up front.I am not an Excel wizard so if anyone has a tool they can share for this type of budgeting that would be spectacular. 

@Sam Shueh is spot on.

@Kate@Kate Ziegler undefined is spot on with the timing of rent.

Make sure intentions are clear on both sides and you'll avoid this situation where both parties assume something different entirely.1025 seems like it's almost roommate level rent for DC and your friend is getting a decent deal but more important is comfortable w/ the spot for another year.... if you try to get too aggressive against the landlord they'll look to evict.

We just received our inspection report back and it has 11 critical points that we need to address and either abate or mitigate it also has dozens of spots that tested positive but no current action is required.

I'm in warm sunny Florida so everything is outside: the well (obviously), the pressure tank, and the pressure switch.

@Susan Little I’ve bought pretty much all foreclosures in the Cleveland market and the comments above are all spot on.
