On a lease but I don't try to treat our relationship as pure business.

A short remedy for a potentially much bigger issue.This is all aside from a very outdated kitchen and flooring which I agree is purely aesthetic, but considerable costs.

This move will be purely for our first investment in real estate.

In 25 years of property management, I have never heard one good reason for a landlord to disclose to the tenants that they are the ultimate owner.In most cases, it's pure ego on the part of the investor.

Approaching entity from a purely tax perspective is a different avenue entirely, that’s for your CPA, who has no experience in courtroom and will lack knowledge concerning the vulnerability of assets.

It also cracks me up that Flint is on this list but not Detroit.Maybe they're filtering purely by numbers with no regard to the quality of the city/area?

NOTHING ELSE occupies their interest in the same way.So this is an informal poll: does anyone here in the BP forums do real estate purely on the side and doesn't wish they did it full-time?

If a toilet runs at full pressure, the tenant is going to call you sooner than later from the sheer racket it's making.If you are purely looking for leaks, you will spend significant sums of money to save yourself very little money in the long run. 

One thing I run into often are borrowers who are looking for loans based purely on the After Repair Value of a Fix and Flip investment.
