@Ben Ballinger You should listen to the BP podcast that @Jered Sturm did where he talked about making the cost of this upgrade passed along to tenants.

Both companies assert they could have only discovered the crumbling concrete once it was broken open.

I'm a little over whelmed, but enjoying the learning process.  I've used the rental property analysis tool quite a bit.  I guess on a lot of the inputs so I'm unsure how accurate my reports are.  I guess one question ...

So recently my friend tells me that his late great grandmothers house had been broken into and vandalized, the house is vacant and is owned by his grandfather.

Once you have both rents broken out, how does that fair against the cost of the mortgage and all other budgeted expenses?

This morning we got a call from our contractor letting us know the home was broken into and all of the tools were stolen.

Now with 3 children and the need to move to a county with better schools, we are looking to upgrade.

And sorry, I find it annoying if the income and expenses aren't broken down to the same denominator ie.

I much prefer the wifi cameras (but you do have to get internet service) as they have motion detection that will send me an alert whenever the motion is broken and I can then pull up video and audio on my cell phone.
