There are regulationsI could go on, but if you learn this much, and apply it appropriately, you will cut down your sorrows and risk, considerably.And yes, there is much more.

Electric: is the easiest to split, but may require holes cut in walls to separate the units.Gas: gas lines aren't as flexible as wires, but it can usually be done affordably.Water: most cities will NOT install additional water meters on a property.

I tried to work with my tenant but they cut off all communication with me and wont respond to anyone.

I don’t want to just cut cost though I want to understand what I’m doing and be super hands on.

I think you can go as high as 15% but it's cutting into your margins and depends if you are a GC yourself or not. 150k is close to a million or more.

I don’t understand how this isn’t a clear-cut case.

You need to get in touch with a lawyer as soon as you can and figure out how to cut off the tenant/landlord relationship.

I understand I'd take a pay cut being an agent for the first few years, but in exchange, I'd be learning about the market and building a network as I move towards Commercial multifamily.

While $50/month in cash flow isn’t great, it’s still positive, and cutting the termite protection could boost it to $125.

Hi Leah, Why not just work with your current lender to cut the points?
