As mentioned by grant earlier, you are taking the risk of eviction and whatnot though.2.) from my understanding, the rent raise rule still applies if it’s a new landlord.

Ask me what not to do on your next fix and flip so you don't go through the same!

I've seen earlier OMs and whatnot. 

I’m always doing calculations on what I need to buy to reduce my tax burden either a property , business car or what not .

Probably overthinking this but if you used a HELOC to pay for the down payment on your investment property, did you use the cash flow from your investment to make the payments on this or did you use personal funds from your W2 job or what not to pay it off?

(I'll likely get some ridicule for that one.Private money lending, hard money lending.Do some meet ups and spend time getting to know the local scene players....listen and learn including what not to do. 

Painters and other contractors are fully aware of lead paint used on older properties and know what not to do. 

As of right now I’m just calling anyone I know who’s in any way involved with real estate hahaBeen calling contractors I know, real estate agents, people I know who own a house (usually residential but hey that’s at least more experience than what I’ve got so I can learn something even if it’s what NOT to do)

What are the definate things to spend on, what not to spend on, and the middle of the road things.

Something where you just plug in whatever information it requires and then tell you rents and what not based on a certain radius from your subject property?
