Look at your cost of ownership and how you envision maintaining and enhancing your property in the years to come.

I love working with investors that are dedicated to enhancing the communities they buy in and take pride in .

This is the exact way I have operated all of my rentals since the early 1990s with great success.The only remaining considerations are what deferred maintenance and repairs exist and need attention and what enhancements are you planning.

Whenever we use a new trade, there is always an element of holding your breath and waiting to see how it goes... not to mention the difference in work flow created by a new personality and crew, and the need for enhanced oversight by management during the job.

Some recent repairs required due to a renter making unauthorized enhancements to the unit and also had to be evicted ($1000).

Makes me think I am barking up the wrong tree, or that it is a new product.Is there a similar enhanced coverage title insurance that can be written for LLCs purchasing real estate in Maryland?

If i do it, i have to do many enhancements to my house and front yard.Being my house built in 1951 where there is no city permits available, it build by county standards. hence there is no Walk path between the Road and my property line.

Real estate IMO should enhance your quality of life, if you have a life there.. why leave??  

Many investors ignore the value of money to artificially enhance cash flow.
