Their is a $1500 reserve that the HOA picks from when needed and I never had to replenish it as an automatic 5% of the rental income goes in per month and stops once toped off.

Most states allow an expired lease to automatically become a Month-To-Month lease.So, the old lease may still be technically valid.Are you trying to be a good landlord or a good friend?

A higher assessment does not automatically mean higher property taxes.

In those cases, a lot of these services will see a personal name or primary guarantor instead of just the business name and will automatically start reporting to personal credit. 

It's automatic, doesn't give tenants chance to argue or give sob stories, and manage how payments applied.

If you reported less than what they think you should have - expect an automatic adjustment, a letter or even an audit.Since in case of private money you as an investor act similar to a bank paying interest to the lender - should you send your private lender form 1099-INT?

However they know they are  just feeding people that have no clue what they are really buying -  They will take a automatic mailer you can to on your own and fancy it up and put a cool word next to it and Boom Sold!

It falls under the automatic consent procedures, so it does not need approval - it could still be audited though 3.

Just list it on the MLS as a FSBO and it will automatically end up on all the other sites...

I could, in theory, just keep some money in savings to float these costs, but I'd really rather that money go to buying another property instead of sitting their floating money to pay contractors.Ryan,I know of a lender that automatically budgets 4 draws into the budget which might save you a little bit on that end, plus they defer the monthly interest payments which might keep you more liquid.As you get going there are definitely a few options, just shot you a DM and would love to help if I can.Good luck!
