I still use this and have had no problems with it.I manually set my prices with minimal effort so I don't subscribe to any pricing software.

If something big is going to need to be replaced soon (eg 1-2 years), do it when you do the other renos to minimize problems when tenants are there.

I am thinking we as landlords can do the following but I am not even sure if that is enough to get landlords off the hook if a gas explosion does happen:- hire a licensed plumber to inspect for gas leak and gas pressure on an annual basis-install a gas leak detector or alarm in the rental unit-spell out in lease agreement that tenant is prohibited from removing the gas leak detector and tenant must notify landlord immediately if at any point the detector stops working-do semi annual walk through inspection of the rental unit to make sure the gas leak alarm stays installed and is working properly and that the gas stove is working properly.Is there anything else we as landlords can do to minimize our exposure to being sued in the event of a gas explosion in the rental unit ?????  

So as you can see he has been living there without paying a dime for close to 2 years (and not paying the utility bills either)  We had intended to go the eviction route but gave him three options 1) Vacate the property within 30 days and when we have access and a vacant house, we would pay him $2,000 (Cash for Keys)2) Buy the property from us and close in 30 days ($10K over what we paid)3) Go through the eviction processWe have him three days to make a decision as to which option he wanted to pursue and he indicated he was trying to find the money. 

Now that I am an investor the first things I look for are the electrical, no knob and tube or the generation after that, I look for problematic asbestos, and I look for indicators of structural issues whether that be foundation issues or things like doors not closing, sloping floors and lots of cracking walls.

So to investing in what I reference as "the path of progress" is more indicated by a new'ish property unit, with considerable development in action and, most importantly, in process moving forward.

VA Loan specifically, if I were to refinance from VA to conventional I'm guessing I would have to pay 3.5% minimal of the new loan?

I was looking at this option for the fact that new homes would have very minimal maintenance requirements for the first few years, allowing me to invest more funds into other properties.

If this post is any indication as to your communications with all of these lawyers you're probably making them think you will be a nightmare client.
