My engineer did briefly mention to me this was a risk but felt comfortable defending our position based on our compliance with AASHTO and we never discussed again.

The city offers a strong rental market and with affordability as well as a median home price below the national average, the city stands out as an attractive option.

We're not talking huge cashflow here in my market but the analysis looks very stong based on market average appreciation and the low capex figures. 

Honestly, PriceLabs is my favorite, especially if you're doing multi-unit or want to create custom groups and bring in occupancy-based factors.

So I strongly recommend that your rental have its own bank account.As for worries about the mortgage bouncing - the only way to prevent that is to fund the rental property's account up-front with some reserve capital.

Any decision you make in rehab should be based on how that will increase your rent. 1.

Are you really going to make investment decisions that involve legal documents and capital being invested by outside parties based on what someone writes in these forums? 

Not here to defend anyone or point fingers but we have had many unsatisfied investors over the past 10 years.Most will buy 1 property and expect miracles.It takes a larger portfolio to make it more stable and more cashflow profitable long term.Owning 1 or 2 properties can always be a hit/miss.Owning a larger portfolio should over time perform better "year after year".Just my opinion based on PM data that we see on the back end.Much success
