That really eats into returns for investors so they dump the money into these Dollar Stores most with flat rent until the option periods.

However, when I'm looking for properties next time I will probably try and negotiate something different, like I (or the seller) will pay the 3% if I buy a property she brings me to, but will only pay a smaller flat fee for paperwork, etc. if I end up buying a property I discover myself.

@Melissa N.I will be there and be part of the syndication panel they are having on Sunday.

So don't cling to a mistake because you spent a lot of time making it,Remember..."...The road is full of flat squirrels that couldn't make the decision to change direction...."

We got a ton of texts from a pissed off tenant saying that we ruined "thousands of dollars worth of plants" that they had planted, and she ran over a tree limb that was left by the contractor (we were on him big time about keeping it clean and demanded that he haul off every last limb - despite the boyfriend offering to pile it up for the city to haul off instead) and her FRONT tire is flat - which we are now responsible for (as well as a rental car for several days because the tire isn't available quickly??)

You may want to consider hiring a "flat fee" attorney to do this for you if it's your first one and you don't plan to file evictions often.

If you want to put it on the MLS, a flat rate company can do it for a few hundred, though with that little cushion I would try to avoid any spend. 

I charged a flat rate for the room, and considered it a "gross lease".

At the same time, you have an electrician install a 150 amp or 200 amp service panel and transfer the existing circuits to the new panel with new breakers.

Sometimes it's a sticker and it really did fall off, or the print on it faded, but sometimes it's stamped and you can still make out the numbers, or put a piece of paper against it and rub a pencil on the paper, or similar.If none of that works, SHUT OFF THE POWER, and then open up that curved panel on the side (on the right in the second photo - closest to the flowers).
