I'm not sure where this idea is coming from, maybe it is the show Shark Tank itself, but I've seen a lot of posts recently where people ask where to find investors to fund them buying a house off of MLS in exchange for a cut of the profits. 

I am a few days from moving to the top floor where I intend to rehab a few things like the kitchen, bathroom, possibly new furnace, water tank (might go tankless even).

It included all new drains & O/flow from the tub, all new shower/tub fixtures, a code required expansion tank @ the HW tank & a code required back flow valve at the water meter. $4,900 & they did an amazing job.

The lower risk the property the lower risk the tenant so I created The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods to help investors determine what risk level is associated with each property they are looking into to allow them to gather a bit more of an estimation on tenant behavior and subsequent costs the rely upon it.As for large Cap Ex items here are a few things to note that should help you out.Water tanks are going to cost roughly $1,000 to replace and will last around 15 years.Furnaces are going to cost roughly $3,000 to replace and will last around 30 years.A roof on a 1,200 sq ft bungalow is going to cost around $5,000 to replace and will last around 30 years.

When things drop, they tend to tank.

Hello all,I have a tenant that was away for about 2 months, and it seems her bathroom tank kept running. 

You can't walk into this business with nothing in the reserve tank.

People owned properties there, all was good and gravy for cash flow, and then boom the city tanks and everyone moves out of it.

I assume the buyers wife was pleased as she probably appreciated the age & condition of the absconded appliances.Worst one was many years ago when the evicted tenants went to the trouble of draining the furnace oil tank into 5 gall containers.
