@Dana Sziklay Reynolds Hi Dana, I noticed your post and would love to connect.

Our tenant has put furniture on the front porch, hooked up a TV (fire hazard) and nailed shutters up to act as baby gates.

Something like a historic or gated/semi private neighborhood should be needed for A or A+.... 

I am closing this Monday or Tues on a 12 unit Apartment complex that, based on current leases and rent role will cash flow approximately $18,000-$22,000 right out of the gate each year.

Don't settle for anyone pitching 10% + out the gate at less than 90% leverage. 

I found this very interesting when I heard it the other day.When interviewed, the one thing Bill Gates said was mostimportant to financial success was to have a working knowledgeof the tax code.

@Dana Whicker Are you talking about the wood we put down in the common area?  

If you only knock longenough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody. -- LongfellowMay the best be upon all, Joseph

In my state you can't get your brokers license out the gate you will just be a normal salesperson.

*We* all know you can't do *all* those things, but the beginner may not...and then try while being overleveraged right out the gate.
