Isaac you need to wait for a "burn in" period and do nothing.Watch how the tenants perform and the property runs before making any huge capital decisions.Yes we look at those items before purchasing to see the best strategy but since you have already closed it is best to do some more research.

My contractor pretty much did the juicy/profitable items of the rehab and quit, namely some foundation work and roof.The HUD consultant did an exit inspection and I signed off on an exit draw.

Can usually get a discount on big ticket items.

We found a tenant to our single family house in GA, and completed all the formalities like Lease Contract signed, Move in check list completed and signed, Keys handed over to them and all the utilities changed to their name and the Tenant also moved some of the items into the house.

And that was with all expenses accounted for"Stupid" questions list:Q1: How can someone purchase a duplex or similar item without a consistant income or J.O.B.?

Aside from the fact that you can't do this unless you have some legal and proper arrangement with the seller, or if you actually purchase it, the small items you talked about are so minor it adds little to n value to the rehabber.

You don't need to use every item, but pay attention to the colors, and how they're used, floors, textures, etc.

A few people said they wanted to see it set a date and did not show.I actually reviewed my advertisement with a RE agent friend of mine and he pointed out a few items that I may want to reword or "soften" up a bit; he thinks I'm scaring people away before they even call.My ad expired about 2 weeks ago, I am revamping and getting ready to re-post...

I'm not a fan of HOAs, the fees can be onerous.But I have benefited by getting a new roof, new siding, and a new parking lot from the HOA fees that I paid.And besides those extraordinary items they also provided grass cutting, snow removal, heat, hot water, sewer, trash removal, insurance and outside maintenance.And besides those normal fees that I would have had to provide they also provided some items that I would not ordinarily provide like swimming pools (hate the maintenance and the liability), tennis courts and club house.
