@Augusta Owens here's some copy & paste info you won't find in a book:)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

To clarify, my focus isn’t on analyzing T-12s for purchasing a property but rather on developing a solid T-12 for managing my property effectively and for use when I eventually sell my investment property in the future.I want to ensure the T-12 I create is both accurate and straightforward, serving as a reliable tool for tracking performance over time and presenting the property’s financials to potential buyers down the road.If you have any advice on key elements to include or how to structure it for these purposes, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.

They are far more common now and harder to find models without but:1) these add cost to the purchase price2) they don't bring a lot of value3) they can leak or detach and damage the propertyI own around 50 doors and I cap off the line at the wall or in the basement with a valve and a cap so the potential for leaks is 0.00001% :-)
