I worked my butt off to buy my first hotel.

They seem to think the dishwasher doubles as a garbage disposal - I think I've been over there seven times this year to clean greasy crud that was plugging the drain line.

The requirements are a pain in the butt and over the top but that doesn't change the fact that it is required protocol for this house.

You don’t need to kiss their butt 

So for example on a $50,000 rehab, they may add $5k to $15,000 to cover the project unknowns and unforseen issues...but I personally try to evaluate all of the risks on the project and allocate money toward those risks instead of just plugging a random blanket % of the overall project.So for example if a house has a foundation issue, but I'm not sure how much it will cost I will plug in an allowance of $10,000 (or whatever seems reasonable) in my estimate to cover that cost.  

Granted I smelled like unwashed monkey butt.. actually I am pretty sure I still do..BUT that is not important:I own CT online!

I just found out that my tenant left the shower running all night while the bath was plugged. 

In our properties, the tenants are responsible for plugged toilets.

@Ryan BirdTo me it sounds like they are covering their butt.

Hello, I am closing in on my first real estate deal in Butte, Montana and would love any input!
