My wife and I feel electric is more dangerous because the surface could be hot long after you turn it off and you are more likely to burn food because you cannot control the temperature as well.We see valid points on both sides of the argument so would like to know what you all have in your rentals and for what reasons?

I got my survey back yesterday and the neighbors deck is .4 feet or about 5 inches over the line on my side.

Dan Butler and @douglasskipworth run an impressive property management company here in our HOT market of Memphis!

This only works for hot market with multiple offers after a week of listing.

Some operators can do it faster, especially if they are pre-leasing and the market is hot/competitive.Maybe on the spreadsheet, or could see if lender has one, depending on what you're actually looking for.Yes, there are def specific lenders out there, as ALF itself is a niche and you add construction to it and most run away.May be able to pull some information from lender regarding the market specific questions on operations/mngmt and construction companies, and the typical percentage of total revenues charged.

As a side note, if the mortgage is $800 and the rent is 1200, you're losing money.  

In my local area, most properties are being bid up well over asking price so if you try to offer at or below asking, the selling agent will ignore your offer.A final note, you can also filter deals by the age (Days on Market - all the way to the right side) and find stuff that has been sitting there.  

As a side note, I'm somewhat familiar with the industry based on my profession.

I currently live in Dallas tx but its a hot market, I have been looking in to Killeen tx or Rio Grande Valley Area, Also Memphis TN.

I would think most GC s will gravitate to insurance work then work backwards.. and us fix and flip guys who need best pricing possible will be last on their list.That no license rule is a thorn in my side too.
