If anything we can call this practice : )Property is a side by side all brick duplex, newer windows and roof.  2bed1bath 800 sq ft separate basements and all utilities are in the tenant's name.  

Good chances are you'll be fine if you give them a notice to vacate, but what you may think is totally rational could increase your liability and land you in hot water if the tenant decides to lawyer up.

Also, does anyone have any ideas on how much cleaning siding costs in general?

I've always been on the other side of investments and development and I'm wanting to gain knowledge and experience so I can do my own investing/developing.

Hello @Curt Riffel , well because real estate is so hot here, you have many people that want to get in but don't know what they're doing and they decide to start with flipping.

This kind of makes me no longer want to do some flips on the side of my full-time job.

And I went with a VAC of 8% to stay on the conservative side.

I've done a few flips in the past but the contractors were quite expensive and on the slower side for completing the work.

We don't really have experienced and qualified real estate instructors because, again, the threshold to enter this side of real estate is very low.

On the flip side, especially the Houston market is very closely correlated to the energy business.
