Hello Everyone,I'm a Aircraft Mechanic working at TPA in Tampa,Fl.

It would depend on the individual property too if it's something that has all older mechanicals and roof, you would probably want to factor that in.

Don't forget to look at mechanicals - they aren't sexy but a new hwh or furnace is a selling point. 

The "market mechanism" and whatnot.

In addition, the loan does not have to be repaid until the borrower no longer occupies the property.home equity line of creditA mortgage loan, usually in second position, that allows the borrower to obtain cash drawn against the equity of his home, up to a predetermined amount.home inspectionA thorough inspection by a professional that evaluates the structural and mechanical condition of a property.

May also consider a mechanical meter in case I am ever concerned who is using all the water.If you are looking for resources on how to charge it back look at the MN AG Landlord/tenant handbook.

I took auto mechanics in school and after work I would throw transmissions in cars or what ever it took.

My back ground::: I have been primarily a Heavy Diesel Mechanic most of my life.  

And when you pay the invoice, in the Memo line of the check, reference the invoice number you're paying and, assuming you are paying it in full, write "Paid in full" or "Final payment" to keep Mechanics Liens out of your life.To avoid confusion, I tell my contractors before they start that they will be getting a 1099 from me at the end of the year and collect the required information right then.

But your stop-loss mechanisms save you on the trades you lose, and your profit happens on the trades that go the right way.
