Adding full kitchens, debugging the apartment, upgrading tenants as they moved out.

However, I use a local used appliance store and can have another appliance swapped in for the broken one within 1-3 days for $300.

As awful as the accusations are, I don't think we have the ability to break the lease with him until the terms are broken.  

And now she's met with an A/C company to get a quote on upgrading the A/C units.

Hey Travis, I know this is very "broken record"-ish but.. would you mind sharing that contact info with me as well?

Consider a smaller starter home or condo and then work on your income to upgrade into a home. 

These were poor, blue collar working people (my grandfather spoke broken English) that never made any significant money but worked hard, didn't piss away money on stupid stuff, and ended up with a nice little home that they paid off. 

Your upgrades look very attractive.For rental though, I would have not spent a nickel changing either of those kitchens.

First time posting and getting into the investment scene, I currently have a single family home that was my previous primary, and looking into purchasing my 1st true investment property, trying to find some advice on the financial aspect of the purchase, here's my scenario;Currently going through pre-approval with the builder and I do have liquid assets enough to cover the downpayment for the property (40k) but I do have a car note (41k, 800 monthly, extra 500 to principal monthly) and a Patio upgrade (25k no interest till March 2025).

nothing pointed at you personally but there has been build to rent projects were investors had to put up 50k non refundable and never got their house built.. so I can see putting it in escrow and releasing it upon closing for sure.. thats what i personally do with my new builds although since we average 25 to 75k of upgrades per house buyers have to stroke non refundable checks directly to us for those items.
