I got the wise idea from a BP post.

(And feel free to reach out if you're looking for tips on how we did it).Finally, thanks to all our meetup members who are also BP members:@Sandra Roddy, @Dustin Karns, @Paul Wurster, @Jacob Michaels, @Katie Kim, @William Strong, @Natalie Heo, @Dominic Jones, @James Wise,@John Kantola, @Robert E.

hi michael. well, lets see. if you were to install hot water tanks, you would need to install 4, one for each unit. using a tankless system is nice, but the costs outweigh the benefits because each unit costs considerably more than a tank system does. sure, tankless systems offer on demand hot water, but they also use 150,000 btu's of heat to do so, vs. 36,000 btu's for a tank system. considerable cost increase per unit. not to mention, you can get a water tank for around 4-$500, vs, $1000 for a tankless system. on average, a tank will last about 15 years, vs. 20 years for a tankless system. i would go with the tank simply because overall, it makes more sense dollar wise

Hi Kelly,The first step is assessing where you both are currently at financially and experience wise and where you want to go.You might want the money for a long term rental hold and the investor might want to do a hard money loan for a flip to make points and fees so they can get the money back out and grow it again.There are some investors who want cash flow and others who want fast growth churning the money over and over with  a value add project or loans etc.I have found the numbers are important but the missing piece I see over and over is the investor more than anything wants the relationship and to have the trust there with their capital.With both of you being inexperienced you definitely need an attorney helping with docs and what the possible structures might look like.

Very frustrating.I was researching the Water wise websites, and while none make it super clear on recommendations, Buffalograss is a great investment.

IDK if they make sense price wise but that point breeze home was purchased for 8k in 2012.

I don't think Ohio investors factored in the difficult rent laws It can quickly erode years of profit any suggestions People complain about california  but at least you dont work on such thin marigns  @James Wise or @Engelo Rumora

Sometimes, it costs $100, sometimes thousands.It's up to you to perform your due diligence to make sure you're spending your money wisely.

I am sure to be as wise and the serpent and gentle as the dove in talking with the appraiser and don't treat them like they are an idiot and I know it all.
