I am a contractor so this house is an attractive deal for me as the circumstances can work. 

Welcome to BP @Jason RuelloTo answer your question on Home Warranties, they can be very useful in the correct circumstance. if you have a lot of older systems in the house, definitely consider it a ticking time bomb.i believe most companies have a special offer for lower cost for the first year if the contract begins as part of a real estate transaction.

I have the opportunity to present to a potential equity investor but I’m not sure what sort of data to include in the business presentation.Currently, I do not have any specific rehab deals under evaluation due to local market circumstances.

I’m sure there’s certain circumstances that could increase the number based on location and transaction details.

@Frank Nguyen Unfortunately, you can’t shut off a tenant’s utilities.

It might be a specific issue/circumstance with your properties???

Unfortunately, owning rentals is a learned (ie just doing it) instead of taught skill.Of course, if there's a school actually teaching the sort of things you need to know about buying and running an apartment, I'd love to see the curriculum.It's kinda like sales - I have yet to see a sales (NOT marketing) course in schools - Yet basic sales skills are so important in any profession unless you are not working with people.

I hate to pull that card, but unfortunately if they're not paying rent, I will.

That as a particularly unfortunate idea as cars depreciate, but they had limited options and the cars depreciated more slowly than the currency.

Hi All - Unfortunately I have lost trust in my CPA after reviewing my latest tax returns(they missed major expenses that I had to call out) so resorting to this community for learning and knowledge while I also look for a new CPAI bought a property in my own name in February and then bought another one in LLC 1 in May and then a 3rd one in June in LLC 2.
