Thank you Ned, that is exactly right, we actually check a condo/townhouse about 2 weeks ago, the thing was a condo with a basement, I cannot tell if it was a condo or townhome, anyway, the ceiling in the first floor was bowing, the 2nd floor, one of the bedroom was sinking, could not tell how this damage was done but the walls came apart from the floor, you could see the roof of the unit bowing inwards towards the structure a bit, and their "general contractor" estimate that for 5k they could straighten the property and level everything, even 1 window and 1 door looked so uneven that you would think  there was something wrong with your eyes...5k for structural damage, good luck with that one, we ran as far as we could from that....but we have seen they do inflate their ARV, since we learned the hard way , we go through these deals with a magnifying glass, I knew I was not so picky, numbers do not lie.Another thing that caught my attention, which I do not know if I am overly suspicious now that I am older, but they want to get the closing for us at the same time/day they are getting the property from whoever they buying it, which it seems to me they try to save on the closing by having a "dual" closing when in reality is just 1 closing and we are the one paying for it...I do not know there are few things that do not click right with this folks.

Flooring: A lighter or mid gray lvp to compliment (~$3 sq ft material) Cabinets: White shaker style (Lowes/Home Depot, Readily Available with little lead time) Countertops: White Quartz with black veining to match black matte finishes if the return on investment is there or just a nicer laminate (calacatta marble natural stone look)Finishes: Black matte for a modern look or the classic brushed nickel.

The ones still open to adding new policies will only insure buildings built after 2000, or 1980 (depending on the insurer), and you have to be claim free in the last 5 years.Unfortunately, $9k for a 10u does not surprise me. 

Cap rate is only one metric to compare properties.

I understand that having two in one LLC puts both of those at risk.  

Call the county recorder so you know how to do it yourself, should take one minute with the address.

You should use a state-specific lease that is clear regarding the start and end dates, the monthly rent, the fees that will be charged (ex. pets) and those that may be charged (ex late fee), the amount of the security deposit, and a clear list of rules associated with the property (no smoking inside is a big one as are rules related to parking).

One great feature that many might find useful is their integration with Latchel to help manage maintenance requests.

I am also becoming an agent soon and it is an illegal practice of law to draft a lease agreement as an agent and one could loose their license.

@Melissa Finney - yes I've heard of a couple decent ones.
