Thank you for your service!

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Alex Rivera Jr. look into FHA 203(k) which allows you finance repairs when you purchase.Then you can look at fixer-uppers that have less competition to buy => lower price!

Just look at what services are available at your address.Spectrum is a quality provider so you are trying to lower cost.Check out https://www.broadbandsearch.net/ and you should be able to see what's available in your area.

There are a few new markets we're getting ready to bring our services to as well.

(Rental loss = repairs or renovations exceeding rental income)

I was losing $300 to $700 a month from repairs called in by the tenant - hopefully it's stabilizing now after a year of ownership (no repairs called in for 2 months now). 

There are companies who will offer lead gen services at a far more efficiency than a single person.

This will help people connect with you after determining how their goals, services and resources align with yoursI hope this helps!

For example, if you must make repairs after a tenant moves out, you still depreciate the rental property during the time it isn’t available for rent.Vacant rental propertyIf you hold property for rental purposes, you may be able to deduct your ordinary and necessary expenses (including depreciation) for managing, conserving, or maintaining the property while the property is vacant.

So maybe a structure where he covers all repairs and the bills just so it isn't your financial obligation.
