Do you turn in clean PLs on each property?  

@Jason Tucker  you need to add in your utilities, common area cleaning, and turnover costs to determine if it makes sense. 

Good Cause Eviction, the 2019 TPA, the history of moratoriums, and the clean slate act sealing criminal records and other offenses. 

If title is clean, a cash deal can close in 7-14 days.

After all PITI, utility, and services (lawncare and cleaning) costs I have $7,225.I set aside 25% of this for my maintenance fund.The remainder funds my lifestyle, wife has a Tesla, and quarterly vacations as well as business growth.In 2023 I am tracking to build 4 duplex units designed as room rentals funded in part from a recent land sale.

But, when 1 party has a clean sweep that means a lot of legislation gets passed, and that spokes the markets.  

I've heard of mentees who started cleaning up construction areas on a flip at the end of each work day or picking up supplies at Home Depot and delivering them to the job site.

Getting title and getting clean title for properties bought at tax auctions are two different things. 

I added a "cowboy pool" to one property...now I've got a pool that needs cleaning and most pool companies don't service above ground pools, go figure.
