I do not have any imminent capex or big ticket maintenance items (fingers crossed!)

Well here's what we ran into, David:You by and large need white trim if you're going to do cheap vinyl replacement windows, any sort of easy quarter-round on the floor.

Granite vs formica is starting to matter to picky renters...since they have so many options.Our ACs get stressed faster than cities with moderate climates year round so keep your CapEx handy.

Stop looking at what you can get away with, not doing.

You will be lucky if you get away with hefty fines and no jail time.

I'm looking at some flips in Arizona and the math doesn't work out when you add in some of the big ticket items like a brand new AC.

Brokers are allowed to charge you what they want and if they can getaway with charging 3 points they will, especially of the loan amount is like 400k. 

Legally much easier to get away with and handling utilities is much cheaper, simply connect them with second floor.

Usually a ticket price around $100 for those ones.Hand out business cards, shake hands, kiss babies. 

Especially in this market with a house hack- that is the golden ticket!
