I agree with BillB. in addition to, you must include in your new lease a requirement for additional tenants.

Instead of including the utility in the rent, give them a copy of the bill and make them pay half.

Don't throw away your snail mail and pay attention to the "promotions" tab in your Gmail, including the ads.Sometimes the best credit card signup bonuses are targeted (both paper mail and email) and will result in more bonus points than the offers you can find online.Also, if you have a Chase bank account but you don't have one or more of the foundational Chase cards (Freedom, Sapphire Reserve, etc.), walk into a branch and let them know you're looking to open a new card.Branches and bankers are obviously evaluated based on their ability to open new accounts, and they may be motivated to give you a special offer.For example when my wife got a Chase card she got double the sign-up bonus in-branch than what was being advertised online at the time.If they present you with just the commonly-available offers, let them know that you'll just open it online because it's easier and will result in the same bonus anyway.If it looks like you're going to walk away, the banker may be able to give you a better bonus in order to not lose credit for your account opening.Of course they may not have the authority to do so but it's worth a shot.

Would be great if you could share an update with the community :-) Hopefully none that included an expensive training on how to buy a piece of land and then resell it. 

Including foundation and plumbing issues.  

I will bet I can send you some great deal, but you won't have the ability to know they are deals because you don't have the experience to do the math.The biggest problem both new and experienced investors have is nobody watches our backs because everyone has their own agenda and the greed more money.What you need is to do is; rather than banging your head against a concrete wall, post the properties you are looking at, write as much detail about each property as you can including rehab costs, rental income, how much you can increase rents and then let people give you their opinions and advice.Here is a serious problem with people who own their own business and then we wonder why some people are successful and why some are not. 

Also includes a few VA hours in the price to jump start your progress... that way it's not just a second job.

My wife absolutely unpacks and puts all her stuff away and the suitcase goes in the closet till we are packing to leave.I just sometimes just live out of the suitcase and sometimes put my stuff away in drawers.On a side note since you are local to me I just bought a hoarder house that has antiques including dressers and chest of drawers.

Thank you for replying.The land cost 200k (3 lots) and it includes a house that needed some rehab, which is now done and I have a tenant lined up for $1600/month.
