I have a tenant that I rent a basement room to, my credit score has improved at least 100 points in the last year and I have paid off almost all of my bad debt.

But I also think part of the investors job should be to improve the community while adding value to his/her portfolio.

usp=drivesdkAll attic photos are taken from the SE corner of the house, from one of two attic accesses on either side of the HVAC unit. 

As part of my career advancement in real estate investing, I'm looking for access to more capital to reinvest and fund deals.

Adjusted cost basis is your original purchase price plus capital improvements minus depreciation. 

Those are upgrade calls, where nothing is wrong but tenant wants to improve something.

Your property taxes have gone up since improvements, and so have rents they are VERY lucky if you keep the rent the same.  

If you haven't acquired previously, caution not to attack on multiple fronts right away...one at a time, learn from it and improve as you go...we are 1000% better equipped to acquire from the prior experiences...they do take time after acquisition for dust to settle and for you to see the effect as well as what strains it puts on your existing processes and infrastructure. 

The only one of these with online access is Note Servicing Center, not sure it matters??

Each unit is two-bed one bath, but the second bedroom is only accessible either through the first bedroom or through the hallway off of the stairs (indoors, but outside the unit).
