I am confident that the 3 water heaters and 3 HVAC systems I put in place since Summer 2024 will give me some peace of mind in 2025 and beyond... for those properties.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Unless you already have a capital reserve fund that will pay for unforeseen, major expenses, like a new water heater, roof, or A/C unit for example, I'd keep the profits in the account until it can cover 6-12 months of operating expenses.

It’s always interesting to hear about emerging trends or hot opportunities in the market.Looking forward to seeing your insights and contributions here.

The market is very hot right now.

What type of MEP work are you putting into the design for getting the sewer, water, power, and internet (assuming you're not extending gas) to the inside of the building? 

Pretty often no water, sewer, power or even roads to the property. 

No extra fees added for repairs, I'm allowed to contract my own people via the PM to do services(HVAC, lawn, water heater, etc.)

It's a hot market for eyeballs because of cash flow, but a lot of new OOS investors don't know what they are getting and where and how to manage it.Thanks, Jonathan. 

But it should only be attorney cost, the deed and recording fees (few hundred) , maybe a final water cert.

My clients appreciate that. 10 years ago, people used to offer you lunch, drinks, etc. no one even offers a glass if water anymore.
