What are folks charging for similar properties and how full are their calendars? 

You can screen tenants with a variety of services online; I like to use my smart move, but there are several others.

We acquired this duplex at a remarkable 66% of its after-repair value, investing in a full renovation to maximize its potential.

When you raise the rent the tenant may request an explanation and it’s very easy to explain that in order to continue to service them and respond to their requests you need to charge them more. if your average rent is $1,000 per unit and the average tenant calls 2 times per year why is it fair to the good tenants that this troublesome tenant to call 50+ times per year and pay the same rate? 

Hi Daniel, I appreciate full response!

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans will be a great tool for you to utilize for your rental properties.

I'm still working full-time at my current job so I want to be realistic with what I can do with the time I have.

If the potential tax savings outweigh the cost of the service - and you're planning on keeping the property for at least 5-7 years, a seg study can be a really good tool to get some tax savings up front. 

As a private lender would you pay the full 100%, or still do 75% Loan to Purchase price and have borrower put money in?

For more serious projects, we do an engineering-based cost seg with Cost Segregation Services.
