Last question -- how did you combine your land with the home legally?

A lot of lenders used to apply 35% for expenses, but in the last several years, the numbers for supplies, labor, utilities, taxes, etc… have increased significantly.Also take into account the age, occupancy and how has the property been maintained, this will affect the expenses too

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

Republicans blocked it passing last year so they didn’t give democrats a win before the election.

I agree with @John UnderwoodI remember you posted about arbitrage last week. 

I believe it is completely reasonable to have a clause in your lease that places a cap on utilities with any overage (proven by a bill) being the responsibility of the resident.Our clause states that any electrical bill (we don't have gas, and water has never been a problem) that is over double the same month's bill from last year will have the overage assigned as a fee.It is important to keep your bookkeeping straight if you do assess a fee.

I went through someone else last year which has all of my previous rental property information on it and nothing has changed except now I have a child.

For a 3/2/1 of 1200 sq ft, you can easily rent it for 1650 which is what I did last week for a lease break out and had a tenant move in 3 days after the vacancy.

Hi all I am new to real estate and just bought my first property last year.

Now, it has been three months since they last took our calls.I have no idea if they are still in business.
