That being said, it is a great neighborhood and good entry point for those wanting to get a little "discount" off the "standard" home prices in the Woodlands with great Conroe schools.

Really competitive pricing, and their electricians are super knowledgeable and do great work.For HVAC, Standard Heating and AC have done quality work on an AC installation, as well as servicing multiple furnaces at my properties.I don't have a good rec on a plumber in the area - all of the outfits in the twin cities I've contacted that have more than 2 employees seem to not want to touch small/medium-sized jobs, and overbid pretty aggressively as a result.  

a) What does your Contract say about how to deal with sub-standard work?

She can't afford rent, so you get her moved out by the end of the month, then apply her deposit to the unpaid rent, cleaning, and repairs.I may even incentivize her to leave quickly by offering to forgive the unpaid portion of rent if she gets out by the end of the month, but it really depends on a number of factors and I'm not going to ask for details.For future reference, best practice is to have set standards and adhere to them every time.

From here, you can analyze specific properties and run underwriting and projection tools.Keep in mind that running a property with a pool does incur more expenses, heating the pool, emergency maintenance, standard maintenance, higher insurance, etc.

I would tell her the home isn't meeting her standards, so she should pack up and leave.

I'm not making that up, that's the qualification standard that's applied.

Keep in mind, if there is enough depreciation (IRA can't take the bonus depreciation, need to use standard depreciation schedule), that depreciation might negate any positive income.

Since you posted this under "house hacking", then you might be looking for a standard type of financing.

A qualified professional appraiser will generate a comprehensive analysis considering factors such as sales comparisons, highest and best use, market conditions, and income generated following Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice guidelines.
