Did you give them power to sign lease agreements and authorize new tenants?

Their buying power is not going to effect them as much when the rates go up.

If they want a storm door installed where there was none before, that is most Iikely going to be a is investment for me as it protects the main door and unless your entry door is an approved insulated door it is actually a weatherization requirement (at least in my state of Wisconsin).

I know this will limit the overall buying power I may have, but "leverage" vs.

Tenants are paying power and trash and I'm paying water and sewer (which is pretty expensive in this area for some reason) and I pay for the lawn to be maintained.

There may be an instance where you need to pay all cash for a property and get a 25% roi or the best may be to leverage rhat 200k into 1m of purchasing power through debt and purchase multifamily places.

But I also carry around 8-10 checkbooks at any one time and at this point I've come to appreciate the power of simplicity as well.

Planning is important, but action is more powerful.

Most of which are entirely too Powerful and too expensive!  

The loan covers rehab too...within that same 65% LTVQ:  Plus you secure the property today ...A:  I secure the property how?
