My friend said his client nearly bailed when she found unexpected wiring issues behind the kitchen walls..apparantly the seller hadn’t touched that electrical since the Reagan era..but with a patient electrician who understood the local code and a carpenter who improvised a shelving trick in the diningrom, they ended up selling above asking.Flipping and building can get tricky, especially once you start thinking bigger.

I would set up a family trust, if you have a ton of equity maybe you refi the properties into an LLC but if you are locked in with lower rates then I wouldn't touch the ownership piece yet. 

He is very interested in real estate business especially long-term rental properties in Dubai, but he has limited knowledge of rental properties, so he joined this community to get a good understanding of how real estate works, and how to manage his properties while living in USA, and to get in touch with real estate owners.

So we often have to remediate this and touch paint.

I used T-bills as an example as something that is pretty much guaranteed and low interest.I could take $8,000 of my money (or $2k per month) - not touch my HELOC and invest it in something for the same period of time and get 2-3x the interest is what I am alluding too and I am curious if people that do these types of programs evaluate the numbers comparing them to other investments or just are sold on Cash on Cash, which on a loan is the WORST way to evaluate your returns.  

For the minor stain, I would probably get in touch with the cleaner to confirm whether it was there before and/or to correct the issue but again your property manager should probably be doing that. 

market does not really matter You bought C class  which some of them were probably really Ds its the tenant base most all the time..I have a very good client that does a lot in Cleveland but wont touch anything that is not B so they get the next level up on tenant..
