Good luck with your studying!

My parents have been tricked in believing that this was their house by fixing and maintaining it all of these years.

Trying to maintain my own business is still very new to me and I want to try to build my business as efficient and prosperous as possible.

I have a background in construction and apartment maintenance and my wife in apartment management so I would fix/maintain my own property and my wife manage the tenants.

Study, study, study. 

One even planted a garden which the next tenant maintained when she moved out!

If I had maintained a warranty all those years it would have cost me twice as much.  

Study successful people and follow there habits of wealth buliding.Work hard at creating systems and processes to make your business work for you.  

CAPEX really depends on building, but I find 1%-2% value annually is reasonable if I plan on maintaining things in good order over the long run.Also, most MFR share one water meter, so find out if rent includes water.  

Why spend a dime maintaining a property when you can often find a good buyer to do it for you?
