I realize this thread is very old but would love to hear how everyone is doing with the old QB vs YNAB debate.

Certain things in my mind are small enough to let a tenant take care of, especially when you have to mix in the hassle of coordinating when the contractor/painter comes and that it works out with when the tenants home, and also paying the contractor, (especially small jobs where they expect cash)  I'm just debating if I should have a steadfast rule or not.Happens to be in this case the tenant made the suggestion, and I know she knows how to paint as she did the interior (at her own cost).  

We're in the middle of the inspection process with our property in Palm Springs and having the debate right now- mostly because we're a bit scared to give up control of our page, but definitely like to hear that the search rankings are up. 

What we do know is that apartment cash flows have become riskier (if they were always this volatile and the market ignored the risk is a debate for another day).

There is an indoor fireplace and we are debating a gas firepit outside.  

Hello BP Mates,There is an ongoing debate (and I've read the majority of posts about this) if turnkey providers offer a good product for investors.

A loan originator friend of mine and I were having a friendly debate a few months back, and he won: by picking up the phone and randomly dialing 20 random California area code phone numbers, he was in fact able to put >2 more refinances in his pipeline.

What several of us "lenders" have said is use the broker to find the lender and don't go directly to the lender yourself.A lender won't have more flexibility than a broker, that's not up for debate it's a fact.A lender almost always will offer higher rates and fees than a broker so not "better terms for sure"...You've got it all wrong

So I guess I'm debating is it worth adding the water lines and set up the existing units already there in hopes it makes the property a bit more desirable and demand a very slight bit more in rent?

Just not in Nashville right now.Really welcome more debate, really appreciate you shooting holes in my deal because that helps a fellow investor not make a big mistake!
