Yes, you must capitalize the cost of the improvements due to enhanced repair regulations.

Consider doing a flip or two to enhance your cash pool then buy at a low LTV for cash if needed.Be careful of those who claim to be private lenders online.

This is what is on page 1 of the application:Our Criteria:We do not deny housing for race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status.We do deny housing to individuals: when the application is not complete or accurate where there is not sufficient income/resources to pay rent and livewhere there is poor prior tenancy: evictions, violations, damage to rental property, poorly handled move outs, amounts are still owing to landlords or utilities.Criminal activity is at our discretion depending on severity, number of convictions, and how long ago.In your specific case I would deny them for having a prior eviction, unless I could reach the landlord and determine that they complied and have paid amounts owing.  

He didn't have a chance because all of his competitors were enhanced!

Wow, there's a line and in my opinion, they've crossed it...We photoshop all of our listing pics, but only to enhance the colors, the brightness and the sharpness of the images, not to distort reality.While there's probably nothing illegal about what they did (though maybe), it just seems very, very wrong...if nothing else, it violates the, "everything in this listing is true to my knowledge" ideal...

But I also spend my time, enhancing my returns, Very generally, I figure one can make about 10% (income) on their money as a RE investor.

Those new shingles just stood out like a sore thumb against the remainder of the roof.To this day, I still think about how much nicer that house would have been -- how its curb appeal would have been enhanced 100% -- had I done it right the first time.People pull up, they notice that new roof, and they know it's one less (expensive) thing that they're going to have to worry about.

We are asking 20% of the monthly income to help pay all "Holding Cost", with our organization covering a clear operational deficit to allow owners to net at lease $900 per month each ($3,600 per month) to enhance their ROIProblem is these two people don't feel my company will be able to make good on this offer, paying expenses, and eventually letting them exit deal with at least  about $60,000 to $90,000 each after sale of the units, which is not counting $900 per month they enjoy while we do all the work in moving low to moderate Renters from Rent to Home ownership, which is the Mission of the Non Profit Community Housing Organization.

I'm considering using it on my next project but I'm concerned that the 6 mil wear layer won't hold up to tenants with pets even if it is "enhanced with ceramic beads" whatever that means.

I'm not judging the indivduals on their race, sex, sexuality or religious beliefs.
