That keeps the entity 100% yours and front end branding in your control.

We’re brand newbie about to close a deal on Our first property that was a rental and already have old/previous  (long time) tenants on the lease.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, but the lights just flickered.Kind regards

I usually buy properties that are not making decent profit or none at all due to below market rents, most times TLC fixes this issue(Paint, light fixture, faucets).

She is currently asking about $300k but comps in the area are roughly about $220-230k and that a brand new house with all the bells and whistles. 

I figured :Updating / restraining floors, appliances , fresh paint , installling recessed lighting, and possibly washer dryer hookup in each apartment. 

If it's something simple like changing a light bulb, it stays at $40.
