I realize now that I should have 1) signed a contract with the company with expected dates and payments as things got done and 2) figured out beforehand if this company is even competent.

Use a non-abrasive scrubber or dish soap to clean the cooktop, and consider using a scraper for any stubborn, burnt-on stains—just be careful to avoid scratching the surface.

The rents are a bit higher on new construction and the builders are offering great rates to investors if you use their lender. 

There are a lot of loopholes the city can use to keep people from doing a STR.For example, an up/down duplex.

If the score is too low, does anyone have the proper wording to tell the applicant that we can proceed further due to this?

I got lucky that the tenant wanted a house in my neighborhood to keep kids close to their schoolsHouse was listed for 1750, they offered 2250 but I declined , so they offered $3k, ended up renting the house for $3250 ($250 pet rent) per month, for 3 month, open to extension if needed.I met the tenant and did the background check on them, I felt comfortable renting to them THD takes time with approving the property, but they were quick to approve the lease, and they sent me the checks the next day after lease signingMy house is not furnished, and they were ok with that , they actually work with a company that provides furniture for the tenant, and they coordinate the delivery and setup of furniture on the lease start dateOverall I like the experience working with them , but hey today is day #1 (out of a possible 3 months), so I will update this post if anything wrong happens or if I notice any red flags

.: There IS going to be a big impact on Real Estate, especially for Single Family and small Multi-Family that is Owner Occupied.The SALT Deductions are slated to expire at the end of 2025.Trump has already said that he will allow it to Expire:https://about.bgov.com/insights/elections/2025-tax-policy-cr...This is NOT a small change.The Standard Deduction gets reduced by about 40%.Then you get to deduct the SALT (State and Local Tax) that you paid PLUS up to $1 Million in Interest from your Mortgage against your Federal Tax Return.The only limiting factor will be AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax).In 2017 when this Cap was put into place, it made sense.However, now that the average Home sells for about Double what it was back in 2017, many normal Americans can benefit from the Expiration.I'm hoping that the Trump Administration does not extend the Cap.Too many people will love him more if he allows it to Expire!

Never heard of this course or the guy who started it.

(This is Amortization).

I suppose there is a reason agents are doing it but I cannot see this as a profitable endeavor...
