So you will need to know the rules where you work, as well as know the sales tax requirements, for where you are working.

HelloI could be missing the obvious, but I cannot seem to find much information on calculating the return and benefits of debt pay down on a rental property.How do you assess the benefits of improved equity or increased balance sheet performance through the paying down of the mortgage on a property?

I also noticed that they made a hole in a wall due to slamming the door against the wall.I asked them to take care of the weeds and explained that letting the weeds grow out of control is a violation of the lease agreement and the HOA rules.

I'm still making mistakes, but I'm using them to improve going forward.

Not always a good idea to just use the same vendors as the seller as there may be improvements you can achieve. i.e. property management company doesn't give guests the easiest instructions to check in, so reviews are down. 

@Robin Simon  Aren't there some rules in Cooke county too, where if the lien doesn't work the way you expected you can just give it back to the county a couple of years later and get your money back. 

@Imran Quraishi, the problem is that you cannot exchange into improvements on property you own. 

The draw back to these loans is that they are more paperwork heavy than the other "portfolio" types of loans...they have more rules...but if you have ever received a loan on your primary home, it's likely that you will go through the same type of paperwork here with conventional lending.

Self-showing lockboxes have undoubtedly been one of the most important tech improvements for SFR.Clearing this hurdle of showing in-person with leasing agents gave SFR aggregator/operators a little more confidence in their ability to lease.

Estimated Rent (based on neighborhood median) = $2800Total expenses including HOA, Capex, Property Mgmt, and 50% rule for maintenance = $2750Cash flow = $50  :(Do I hold onto this gem or sell it and move onto a new strategy??
