If you can, go several times, so you can watch it happen from the foundation all the way up.If you live close to a store like Home Depot or Lowe's, sometimes they have free classes on "how to install a ceiling fan" or "how to paint". 

You didn't mention home insurance and that will need to be set up before closing.Don't buy anything yet (don't rack up you credit card balances), but window shop at the hardware store. 

A few examples of when you might see a higher cap rate is a non-credit tenant (mom and pop, one store operator, hand to mouth financials) or you might see this with a tenant whose lease term is set to expire in the near term (2 -3 years or less).

It takes a couple times to get your balance down, but I can literally go for over an hour where I can't go for more than 30 minute watching tv.Madden keeps me excited and completely engaged, I don't even think about working out.I also try to lift twice a week in my home, but I hurt my shoulder two months ago and I haven't been able to lift much at all.I always try to stop at a grocery store instead of fast food.

I was recently referred to LendingOne by a fellow investor and just wanted to share my experience thus far as I feel there's a lot of marketing bait and switch happening with lenders that advertise terms and loan structures...Our past and current project:  We do buy-rehab-refi-hold (airbnb) rentals, not regular rehab flips.First off let me start with the things I think LendingOne excels at:Nice dashboard to upload and store all your documents to track how the loan process is coming along. 

.: @Marcus AuerbachThe thing I always think about when I look at the homes along the golf courses is how much I really don't want to know what goes on in them. main thing I look at is why the heck would they buy one 180 to 200 yards off the tee box right where golfers are going to slice or hook into their house break windows and then walk through your flower beds to find their lost ball...

If it was in bad shape already and her dog made it worse...I'd pay a larger percentage.Talk to a flooring company (not a big box store) and ask them what they'd recommend. 

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

I thought maybe we could make the copy next time we are at the hardware store and have the Tenant pick it up, but husband doesn't want them knowing our address and I see the point and I don't either.
