My 2 cents is right there with the other guy, get into something on your own first to test the waters and know what it’s like to actually buy and do some work.

ABC kept the first two and half months of rent from the rental guarantee for tenant placement fees and utilities (water, electric).

I know what the rents should be for each of the units (2 vacant and 1 significantly under market), the taxes are listed on the MLS, I’m familiar with the water/sewer costs in close proximity to this building, and I know what percentage to use for my Vacancy, CapEx, and repairs and maintenance based on my knowledge of the local market.

There are some dogs that just have to be on the couch so these cut way down on dog hairs.We provide dog bowls for water and food along with an absorbent mat.Last up we have a small Bissel hand cleaner for accidents.

Village to Village Network (https://www.vtvnetwork.org/) and Men’s Sheds Association (https://usmenssheds.org/) are successful models of people building community to improve the aging experience.So drawing on Dr Thomas and Nancy’s work and incorporating cohousing and pocket neighborhood elements into my communities, I have chosen to use shipping container homes in areas along the Texas coast where storms frequently cause wind and water damage.

Started out asking $300 rent and $600 deposit ($900.00) for a one bedroom with water, sewer and trash provided.

Property details: 3 bed 2 bath both sides with attached garages, aluminum siding, copper plumbing, 1972 construction, separately metered, all electric water heater, range, dryer, public water and public sewer on a slab foundation in a great school district right next to brand new construction everywhere.

Purchase price: $300,000 Cash invested: $31,0002/1 X 2 duplex with new roof, newer AC's and new water Heaters in really good shape.

If you don't know how deep the water is, you may get more than just your "feet wet".Third Lesson.Cheap and discount are not the same thing. 

Water, trash, internet, and fire wood make up the rest of the utility allocation.
