The only exception is the HVAC/roof; if these items are half or less of their expected manufacturer lifespan it would be worth it.

It's still going to pay taxes and insurance for the house, not going to the lender.And many of your items I don't recall seeing on any of my purchases.

Duplexes tend to fit this bill more frequently but in my mind the more units the better after you have the above items.

If 'yes', then the company should also provide a scope of treatment and protocol sheet for the owner and/or occupant.You have multiple things going for you: 1) place is empty, so treatment is ideal, 2) you don't own it yet, so your up-front cost of detection is minimal, 3) it's not move in ready so the BB issue is not a gating item, 4) your treatment will be effective since you (not a tenant) control all the variables.Regarding canine services, I'd not employ this detection method for a duplex for one primary reason: expense.

I am lucky in that my parents invest, so I have been able to watch their processes and help with various items.

The same applies to every major item at the property.

The assumptions are totally bogus......they have no expenses for repairs, maintenance, replacement of major items(capital expenditures), vacancy, tenant damages, management, etc.

.* Replacement parts are difficult to come by* Cannot be moved around a lot, or will cause the furniture to weakenit appears that most of the furniture will last 3 years, but any items that outright break will be replaced out of the security deposits.Again, my strategy was to spend the least amount of money to max out my rent.

One last item, and this is a question, if two identical homes n identical condition sit next to each other, and Sam buys the one on the left for $100k, and I buy the one on the right for $65k, and the closing of each transaction occurs on the same day, what is the current market value of my home and Sam's?

I know there are plenty of other important items as well, but at least these questions should point me in the right direction.
