Then when you find out an OZ, you will be better equipped.

Using the 50% rule, where one can expect over time that expenses (taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, etc. from Schedule E plus capital equipment reserves) will be about 50% of gross rents.

Hi guys ,So this is a random one ..just looking for input and some ideas , i found a commercial property with three rental units , the first floor is a pizza store no longer being used , but all the equipment is still there , negotiable in the sale , just wondering if anyone has had any similar experience before ?

He is a production manager of one of the O&G service and equipment companies, so certainly he's able to pay back. 

The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to get a rock solid lease and good insurance and make sure you keep your property maintained and provide all the safety equipment required by law.I only own one property atm and I don't even own the house I live in so I don't think the risk is worth the cost but once I get a few more properties I will definately get an LLC for my properties.

I am not equipped to deal with 500/mo tenants. 

Another option to consider would be "automated tenants" for commercial properties (i.e. laundromats, vending machines, ATM machines, co-working space).

Most are not equipped to handle investors or pretend that they really are!

The segment was about how the Colorado fire department has new equipment to deal with the specific problems with putting out EV fires. 

One of the value add ideas I am tossing around in my head is Vending Machine's and or an ATM being placed in the property.
