DB Brooks Flaws to look for during inspection of 1930's home in Jax, Fl.?
1 April 2016 | 2 replies
The wiring originally installed that house was designed to run a few light bulbs and perhaps a radio or two (it's not uncommon to find a single circuit per floor or only 2-4 for the entire house) and not to handle today's array of electronics.The house of that vintage, the presence of asbestos in its many forms (pipe and duct wrap for the heating system, possibly mixed in plaster, floor tiles, exterior siding, etc) is a distinct possibility.Where I do not have experience is in local insect damage - I know you have termites and undoubtedly carpenter ants (or a close relation).

3 June 2017 | 1 reply
This involves: Providing capital in a timely manner for pre-approved deals.Ownership is allocated in the following way: The asset manager owns 20% of each property.The other 80% is owned by those who provide the financing for the deal, with no distinction between leverage and cash.Partner’s percentage of interest in the company is the net percentage of capital contributed across all properties, multiplied by 0.80.When new assets are added to the company, percentage of ownership is recalculated.If cash infusions are required for major improvements not covered by reserves, we recalculate percentage.Distributions are paid quarterly based on profits, on the 1st of the month, based on a percentage of ownership.Now here comes the question: If I cash-out refi the property, is that my capital contribution, or his?

(2) because turnover happens at the same time you can find out 3-5 months in advance if they are going to be renewing their lease you are able to prepare accordingly by advertising and pre-leasing the property months in advance.
