Ask her if she knew how long the line was to put in offers on the house ?

When I had my 20 unit the power company had 2 options for landlords.One is a reverting bill to where if tenants left it would be put in our name.

Unfortunately, many Qualified Intermediaries are just processors and don't want to be put in a position of having to provide guidance.

I was counting on doing a renovation mortgage because I don't have the cash to purchase flat out, or to put in the needed work to get it to rental condition, so I am trying to figure out my other options.

When we talked about 10 days after our first lunch and he told me that he had been out and looked at a dozen properties and put in 5 offers I knew he was legit and continued to cultivate the relationship.He has done a deal and made like $23K on it and has his next one under contract now.

I'd stay away from travertine. because of concerns about its durability- it'll chip and scratch and is porous which can be troublesome if somebody spills something on it.And, I have to disagree with choosing ceramic tile because porcelain is less likely to chip and less likely to show damage if it does get damaged whereas you'll see a different color underneath ceramic if you chip that.I put in porcelain tiles in the most trafficked areas in my place because I thought it was going to be so durable and hassle free.

But, at least I have BP to set me straight when I get distracted.

The value of a $5k HVAC unit put in 3 years ago when it was a personal residence is not depreciated, as Dave mentioned, however, 3 years later it would not be the truest reflection of value if you were to add $5k, so adjusting the value as you would for depreciation gives a more accurate valuation for the basis.

Fill the rest with mulch and a few nice bushes , put in a cheap fire pit in the center , paint the concrete grey , and you have a nice little landscape area .

I really do not mean to whine and complain, But I am exhausted.I love where I am, Sometimes I am actually helping people build "retirement funds" or wealth and real estate knowledge, while learning for myself, but right now I am barely breaking even on the investment of simply getting my real estate license, much less marketing expenses or the time/lack of sleep I put in to this.I am learning about market trends in specific residential areas.
