Hi All-I was at the IMN SFR conference a few weeks ago, and a common pain point of private equity firms was the extreme cost to transmit money into the United States.

After a year of searching with many fits and starts and a really really painful purchase process, we bought a humble strip mall a few years ago.

The "legal" prescriptions available to treat my Degenerative Disk Disease and Spondylolisthesis would leave me unable to get out of bed, sick to my stomach, and even worsen my pain. 

You typically can buy a Rheem tune up kit with two heating elements and thermostats for under $40.The biggest pain is draining the old water heater and wrestling these things in and out of wherever it is stored. 

@Ashton Sharp, Without a 1031 exchange in place prior to the sale a gain is recognized upon the sale of that property.  

It makes little sense to me though that if the tenant tricks you into signing the annual lease and then turns out to be a major pain in the nec , you'll be stuck with them for a year. 

your heading in the correct directions. big houses just use a lot of the normal stuff lots of pain flooring counters... hardware etc.. that like doing 5 or 6 flips in one house and a nice flip reno is 40k ish.

I totally want to kick her out, but I just don't want to go through the painful process.

I have had a fire claim and they were painful to deal with until I hired a remediation contractor who lined them out quick.

Thomas Paine Good luck!!!
