Hi Jonathan,Jay’s Fencing (209-847-3992), Elite Iron Fencing (209-968-6685), and Fletcher Fencing (209-662-8298) are solid options to get bids from and compare.I also offer consulting services to help clients navigate projects like this—whether it’s evaluating bids, ensuring the scope of work is clear, or helping you avoid potential issues during the process.

A good manager will handle tenant communication, security deposit transfers, and ensure a smooth transition for you.Changing managers doesn’t have to be difficult—following the agreement and partnering with a competent new PM will help you get things back on track.

Come tax time it becomes fairly easy to run separate reports for each entity or each property for schedule E.

I am fairly new at being a Landlord.

@Agatha Simmons Ensure that you are documenting everything that is occurring.

I know this is above and beyond what most municipalities require, but being fair will make the whole process easier.Additionally, a new landlord can reduce the 60-90-day notice by offering more moving assistance (cash and/or labor) if they move sooner rather than later.

But be mindful of the debt service requirements and ensure your rental income is sufficient to cover the loan payments.It’s definitely possible to scale up with DSCR loans—many investors use them to build large rental portfolios.

Most lenders require 6-12 months from acquisition seasoning before using the appraised current fair market value to calculate LTV.

In my market, which is a fairly economical place to build, I am friends with full time builders that are in their properties about $150k/door for construction level finishes.  

Have to ensure that with taxes and insurance added you can meet the DSCR ratio needed but you should be able to refinance out of this one.
