If you provide any appliances, put a clause in your lease that they are as-is with no warranty or maintenance provided.

This is more for future financial planning, but it will incorporate REI for the meantime.

I have quite some questions that need your help: For tenant screening, I plan to do the routine background (eviction, criminal) screening and credit check.

I think @Scott Trench brings up a great point when he says "Many investors who don't know what that inflection point is will continually leverage thirsting for more, and ultimately wish they’d listened to Dave", but I plan on borrowing until the grave if the numbers make sense for my children and grandchildren.

This old furnace without warranty I got off the back of a truck should go into my brand new Flip.

If you love the events, you have to plan and adjust to make those.

I definitely plan on paying for the pro version (it’s like $75 a year or something). 

I've had home warranty for my primary home in the past and faced the same issues.

Our plan is to fix and flip to move on to the next project, thanks for your input.

@Gregory Greene Hi Greg, my wife and I are in the same boat, we are moving there from CA and planning on investing in a duplex as our first property.
