Siding & Exterior Trim12. 

Renting where you live and owning elsewhere may not be traditional, but it makes more intuitive sense to cash flow 10k a year off of a 500k investment oppose to racking up a 3k/month liability off of a 500k investment (primary home). 2.

If you believed the place was abandoned that might have needed to be part of your filing with the court if you wanted to use that as a reason to grant possession as opposed to just nonpayment. 4.

It’s a negative, limiting stance, completely opposed to the spirit of real estate investing.

Nice job with the project. 70k budget is really good considering exterior work was involved.

The right of first refusal, while I do not oppose that in general, was set up in a way that will cause landlords to vacate their buildings before listing to avoid having to go through the uncertainty and months of limbo with tenants. 

Furthermore  once the 1031 intermediary get their cut and you also pay two sets of closing costs ( buyers now have to pay closing costs in some states ) as opposed to just one closing cost ( if not doing the 1031) it might be a “half a dozen vs 6 of the other “ scenario .Also one of the turn offs to the 1031 exchange is the interest rate will be much higher with todays rates especially since we would have to get an investment property loan which are higher than “ primary residence “ loans ..Will probably lower the rent asap ( have one more showing ) and then put it on the market .Thanks for the great advice Christian 

Lawn: if it's in a HOA and you care about maintaining the look of the exterior, owner should take care of lawn.

Hi, at the stage of painting the exterior of the house.

I'm not opposed to revisiting this topic.
