Welcome to BP community @Cecilia Arnulphi It is a great place to meet new friends and learn about various aspects of real estate and more.

@Ricky Dorn  Understanding tenants’ rights is a critical aspect of buying an investment property with tenants.

Stage both units by strategically placing furniture to help buyers see what each room is for, but use a minimum of props, since the less that is in the rooms the bigger they look.

You want an accountant that can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the tax consequences of the decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

Hi again i think is very important to get the meet ups going in all aspects.

The rent aspect is not necessary for an appraisal for a conventional refinance.

@John Warren- You make a very good point about people only wanting to outsource the hard and low paying aspects of the business.

As a type A personality it is difficult for me to not want to control and manage all aspects of a project but I forget how important it is to rely on your team.

But if it is currently a rental property, then as long as you are claiming that rental income on your tax returns you should be ok in that aspect. 

I try to be strategic with new 12 month leases and schedule them in the winter.
