If it is already three lots someone likely combined it to have one tax ID.

We don't allow combined income for non family members.

@Jimmy Chao regrading to get water away is always a good idea but I would recommend having a water intrusion specialist confirm that the source is in fact the gutters as it could be a combination of gutters and/or stucco/grading/windows/roofing etc. best of luck!

I will see what the most affordable combination is.  

@Sam BhattacharyaEveryone has their own criteria, but I think the idea would be to get the house with any combination of a lower price, a lower interest rate, and higher rents. 

I pretty much use exclusively this Pass & Seymour / Trademaster light and fan combination control switch for all my rentals. 

The combination of those books planted the seeds for me to begin investing and overall showed me there is a way out of the rat race or hamster wheel, if you will.

I move those funds to Mutual funds and combined them with other monies.  

I have had a similar experience when I bought my first property in Allentown.You could have a good PM in a poor company or a poor PM in a good company...In an Ideal world you have enough doors to support one good PM who only works for you.Also several likeminded investors could unite to hire a PM to work on their combined portfolio.

I live in VA- 4hrs away. 100% occupied and LTRs. got a few quotes to manage the properties- it comes to 8% commission, +200 lawn care - approx 470 a month for the 2 combined.
