I'd like to go to the local community college and brush up on plumbing, electrical,etc. so I can do that preventative maintenance when tenants are turning (that means on my watch lol). 

I want to try to make the most of that static time. 

Allows for each of you to maintain your own branding/marketing since you have a static LLC. 

@Veronica Thomas I have them sign off on a checklist through docusign that has a check-in / check-out column (fans dusted, floors mopped, self-cleaning oven cleaned, shelf out fridge cleaning, microwave inside clean, toliet scrubbed inside and out, cabinets crumb free, no chemicals/furniture/toliet brushes/brooms left on premise, no large garbage items on street curb, etc, etc) .

Anyone who brushes off interest rate risk and the effects it will have on the cap rate is either in denial or is trying to get you to invest.

So I immediately sent the info to my preferred agent he disclosed some information that they owed several years of property taxes and were motivated to sell we settled for 90k I took out my first ever mortgage loan which was a conventional loan 20% down 5.6% interest rate and for 120 months payment of 768 acquired property 06/13/2020 immediately hired a contractor with a dozer to take down most of the brush.

By hiring a contractor to take down all the excessive brush mesquite Lessons learned?

Repainted the entire house ourselves, enclosed one room with French doors to make a 5th BR or office, changed all the ceiling fans, door knobs to brushed nickel, added an above stove microwave.

In a few years you can probably refinance to a lower monthly payment, although note that your housing costs are now pretty much static while your income will continue to grow -- vs. renting from someone who can increase prices at the end of your lease.

The first leak when water was turned off I purchased her some drinking water and gallons so they could flush toilets, brush teeth.
