I use coupons on every single purchase I make from Lowe's not including when an item is exempt from the coupon. 

The places with those items rent way more than those that don't.

Are there any repair items that need to be taken care of on the first property?

At the price she wanted, didn't make sense, had to pass.Lastly, this is where my question comes in.Property with Tax LiensI inquired about acquiring properties that have tax liens in some towns in my target market to build a list and send out a marketing hit on these people but had a question on what the tax collector meant on this email.Attached is a list of properties in tax lien status.

You simply call up your favorite hard money lender and send them a few items and the project is funded.Crowdfunding should be a source of capital for parts of the space that would not be available absent the site.  

To get on with my point, today I was researching some things and ran across a few items (amendments) on the ballot next month that are directly related to real estate investing in Louisiana, state wide.  

Some of the less obvious items that I've been nitpicked on:- paint underneath the sink and in the utility closet- any tree branches / weeds touching the building perimeter- clean window frames (the channel where it slides had to be spotless)- common area / hallway must also meet code regardless of how many section 8 tenants you have

Also, whoever you use for tenant screening can likely post to the eviction databases as well.My main recommendations would be to let a professional do the debt collection (don't do it yourself), and have a debt collector pursue a tenant in conjunction with whatever eviction or court judgments you seek.

Now there's no more negative cashflow, but some major repair items still exist, which I can't put more capital into having repaired.I've learned a great deal, but haven't been able to recoup the capital investment that was sunk into this project.

I'm a little confused about how the depreciation works on items that don't last 27.5 years, such as flooring, appliances, cabinets, etc.
