@Argel Algura.Congrats first on your last.year and how much you have accomplished in a short time period. 

 @Dominic Battagliac @Shawn Quigg Stumbling on this thread several years later.

This investment should have done very well based on these facts, but the biggest drag on performance was the yearly high "unexpected" property tax expense ($300-500k drag on NI per year).

Start to evaluate deals based on the income approach and you'll do much better long term investing. 

Thank you,from all the replies this was helpful, I was not aware that there are ways I can help them build their credit, would you mind elaborating on how it works?

Thanks, Jim Rice in person or online?

Cash flow keeps the lights on until you get there!

I know it would have helped me.Now that I am out from under these two properties I am waiting on a HELOC on my primary to get approved I will be getting right back on the horse but with much smaller rehabs.Below is the house that sold today.

Lowe's just came out with their biggest appliance sale of the year- up to 40% off. And if you join Lowe's Pros, you'll get an additional discount (it's free to join). I believe that the sale goes through February 12th...

On the other hand, tenants tend to cause damages when moving these appliances in/out, so having them in place may be safer.I recommend you look at what others are doing in your community and price point.
