One golden rule I follow,if it takes a long time to fix/replace when it breaks, don't buy a cheap one.Imagine, this thing breaks in the middle of your peak season and the people who can come out to rebuild are 2 weeks out....It takes at least a day or two to build something like this even if you are super skilled.

I ended up closing on a duplex house this week with the intent to rehab the whole place.

I do plan to consult my real estate attorney who handled the closing but this is his busiest week of the year, so I definitely don’t want to bug him with something that isn’t extremely urgent until after the New Year.

@Jon Latorre I'm traveling to CR next week.

It took 2 months and 1 week, including unfurnished and furnish (so from guest out to guest in was 2 months and 1 week).  

Tenant moved in the first week of December and there's been an excess of communication from the owners for somewhat minor issues or concerns.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

I will try and remember to come back and update what I find out in a week or two of testing out both platforms.

I update my prices weekly, adjusting just a bit here and there according to my own research.

If I block my card it'll take at least a week to be able to use it!

In/out in 2 weeks for rehab.
