We’re in a buyers market now in Manhattan except for the occasional hot property which will sell quickly and at/above ask.

But I have a Honda Accord (which may require me to throw money at it occasionally).

Ring - Wireless and I have to occasionally charge the battery and pay for service.

I will most likely become a realtor and work for a broker in the beginning but branch off on my own into just investing in rental properties and an occasional flip.

So for my portfolio, I only average about 5% for all maintenance and repair work as that includes the occasional HVAC or roof on the few that have not been replaced.   

Hello everyone,As the multifamily values in my market continue their radical ascent I am starting to think more about some of the consequences for real estate agents and their investor clients.I focus primarily on commercial real estate in MN, but still am still involved in the occasional duplex-quad type deal and have been helping friends who are looking to sell their home and owner occupy a duplex somewhere, which was the impetus for this post.  

I've done both first and 2nd, but usually try to stay under 60% LTV (occasionally can go higher depending on the deal).

Are we not allowed to occasionally rent it out due to this requirement?

They can be in areas that you are interested in.The gas stations I've been thinking about are big brands with plenty of normal traffic and periods of increased traffic due to the occasional price war with another nearby station.

What occasionally happens is that the inner wall is plaster and starts cracking and the remodeler doesn't want to deal with it at all and just covered it over with 1/4 or 3/8 drywall.You can buy an all-included asbestos test kit on Amazon.
