What is it earning you except a badge of honor and piece of mind?

We have the tenants pay for all utilities, EXCEPT those that can lien against the property if not paid OR must be paid by the property owner.These usually boil down to: trash, water, sewer.

I might, under certain circumstances, allow an exceptional tenant in a mid to upper quality unit to paint one or two "accent walls", but only on a lease renewal, not at movein, and I would usually require the walls be restored at moveout.Wallpaper is a definite NO, improperly applied it can be a PITA to remove, although again in a low quality unit I might consider it.

The only exception might be if you're ordering in some "unusual"/not normally stocked at the supplier items.The right answer was from yourvirtual assistant, tax forms, proof of insurance FROM THE INSURANCE CARRIER, not from the insured.Or, you could do what I do, on the rare occassion I hire anything done: go to HD, or wherever your local spot for finding braceros is and pick them up, pay them cash at the end of the day, and tell them that if they get hurt you'll just bury them in a cornfield!

This is exactly what I am trying to do, except that I plan on doing the buy and hold strategy to start with.

You could use this to calculate an ROI except the big question is how much will it take to bring this property up to code.

I plan to use a similar setup except the contractor partner will also be putting forth the rehab funds.....then it will be 50/50 after both sides recoup all expenses. c) 1925 and small on square feet.

I just take huge risks, apparently.Now I've found lots of alternative CPC sources that aren't as ridiculous as Facebook/Google (as an aside, 99% of what you see running on these sites is material that they would ban, except they are being "cloaked" by affiliates...basically the ad revenue that sustains these massive companies comes entirely from people whose ads they explicitly ban..something you might want to know if you own any stock in them).

For the most part it will be just like buying any other house, except the bank wont make repairs, they will want you to sign an extensive addendum holding them harmless from the property after the sale, and to close on time or pay a per-diam penalty.They hate having a contracted deal all apart, so they like strong offers (less contingecies) with high deposits.

An exception is that the very high end condo market there, as the current price is still far below the construction cost and therefore new projects must wait until the price is a lot higher to start.
