That's why it sort of replace the need for a checking account.Every tool has it's function.

I'm a mother of an 8 and 11 year olds, my husband works full-time but I quit my job when we had my daughter and wanted RE investing to replace my income.

Horror story #2: while selling off one of the Class C Indianapolis properties, buyer asked me to pay replace the sewer line before closing... absolutely not...here's a partial credit (check to written out to contractor from closing proceeds so buyers don't pocket the money) 

i am not looking to be spending my days on the lake, I am looking to replace my day job income, and growing my portfolio.... but it is important to cover my costs first, which not 20k/mo but, that is what i'm accustomed to regularly (or more).

If you are purchasing that MF property for $1 mil then you can use the 3 units as your replacment for the 1031 exchange ($750K of value) and live in the last unit ($250K of value).An awesome way to house hack your way up!!! 

Our program offers a range of coverage levels, including basic or special form coverage and actual cash value (ACV) or replacement cost (RC) loss settlement methods.

Quote from @Kevin Robert Highgate: The ability to invest in property and replace your W2 income quickly is tough.

The solar system adds no value to my property for rental purposes, and I may even be ripping up the roof & replacing it in the new year.Beyond sending a nasty letter through my attorney via certified mail, demanding the company come pick up their equipment, am I required to take any further action or fulfill any obligations regarding these contracts?

@Jack Cottrell You Vacancy & Maintenance percentage are aggressive and may only work for a Class A rental/tenant.If the is a Class B or C rental that will attract Class B or C tenants, you should strongly consider increasing those percentages.NOTE: we deal with a LOT of Class B & C rentals, so we replace "Vacancy" with "Vacancy/Tenant Nonperformance".
