3 of my faves when I was active for entity structure,  contracts and landlord-tenant have retired but Ryan Feeney of Overcast Law was very good with landlord-tenant matters. 

We went under contract on our first investment property (had never even bought a personal residence yet) just a couple weeks later. 

I get where you're coming from with the concern about the new casino's impact on short-term rentals (STR).

Property contracted for $300K and recent appraisal came in about $50k under that based on limited comps in the area.

The short version is do lots of research and buy Class A or B (you won't cash flow at 7% rates on LTR, unless you do MTR, STR or some creative strategy).

Commercial real estate loans have different requirements and terms, such as shorter terms and longer amortization periods.

We have a short application process and close quick.

Self contract 1-2 new builds with equity?

I haven't done any subto deals, but I've completed 11 transactions within the mentorship and have 2 more under contract for purchase.

They are often classified as operating expenses or maintenance expenses rather than capital improvements (assets).Washer/Dryer/Stove/Refrigerator: These are assets as they are considered durable goods that will benefit the property over an extended period.New Baseboards/Trim, Doors: These are generally considered assets because they enhance the property's value and are not typically replaced frequently.Furnace/AC: These are significant components of the property and are categorized as assets due to their long-term benefit.Paint, Light Fixtures: These can be a bit nuanced.
