Before you for utilities and if you happen to be the last empty parcel on the street you’ve just invited the curbing, sidewalks, sewers to be built and assessed to you and your neighbors, welcome to the area.

-Each unit Separately metered so no utilities-Renovated in 2016. 

(I may have done that when I first got started) A home inspector is there to look for problems with the structure, fixtures, and utilities and provide suggestions on the best way to repair or mitigate them.

Times have changed, and there is a great misalignment of interest in the landlord industry with that of the investor, but if you look closely enough, you will find that the roots run deep, and straight to our friend Jesus

I recently found out that to defer taxes I not only needed to utilize all the profit but also replace the debt.

@Chase Gochnauer  your the perfect guy to make this work in that asset class. you live there work there probably self manage.. your in the industry etc etc.although the BRRR is still no money in the deal.. and those that do that if they got a problem they will walk to.. its only their credit they lose no cash. 

Not due to your fault, but delays by others; ie utility hookups or change in service, Use and occupancy permits, and the time to get the property up and fully rented. 

Found two soggy owners manuals and a bag of silica that had clearly outlived its utility.

LOTS Of fake lenders work BP  face book linkdin etc.if you cant find anything on them I suspect you may have run into a fake.the telling clue will be1. rates too good to really be true or lower than industry norm2. too quick to approve you..3. they want a modest deposit up front and give some BS reason why the want it.4. no website ( although many fraudsters have generic websites website alone does not mean anything.5. check on licensing.. there are only about 12 states that require licesnes. not sure about our state thoughBut I would say 95% if you cant find anything on them.. and any of the things I said above are what they are telling you,, cheap rates small up front deposit.. probably not real and you will just lose your 500.00 bucks or whateverOh the other great one is you have to buy an insurance policy because your new or a little weak on the financial side.. there are NO insurance policies for private loans if you fail to pay.. that's just another fraudulent payment to a non exisitant entity.real estate lending has become the new Nigerian prince scam..

If the tenant is paying their own utilities, do we include our utilities in expenses while determining the cash flow?
