So fast forward to the past year, I finally found a decent job working field sales for a popular energy and solar panel company which i am proud to be a part of, but at the end of the day it's still a job title where I have supervision, have little to no freedom, and little reward. 

Another consideration is that if you are barely cash flowing on a home in an expensive market and you aren't taking into account capital expenditures, the first time you have a major maintenance repair (new roof, major plumbing or electrical issue, etc.) you will be in the negative for years to come.

Id contract out electrical, plumbing, and foam insulation. 

Well, I just received a letter addressed to her at the rental unit's address from the electric utility.  

We know it needs to be completely rewired electrical wise and the bathroom and kitchen need some work but the house is very livable. 27 Hamilton Street, Haverhill, MA has a few pictures on Zillow. 

Non-sprinkled (smoke detectors only), electric installed in conduit as well as circuit breakers, central gas boiler and contains no common hallways ( exterior entrances to each apartment).

So i have this 4plex im interested in but dont know if its a good deal i ran numbers based on pro forma and got good numbers then i finally got the financial spread sheets and renters roll and its still kind of good but want to run it by you guys: some backgroundProperty was rehabbed by current owner. has 4 separate hvacs all interiors have been painted newer roof new carpet new tileList Price: $309,000Year Built: 1960'sUnits: (4) (2) 2 bed 1 bath (2) 1 bed 1 bathGross Monthly Rent: $2,695Rents: $595, $595, $710, $795Monthly Mortgage w/ 25% down & 4.5% interest rate including insurance and taxes: $1,356Water, Trash, & Sewer: $200Management Fees: 10% ($269)Maintenance: 5% (134.75)Landscaping: $130Tenants pay electricity and gasfeel free to plug in any missing factors all help is appreciated

Just notify the tenant you need to do some preventive maintenance of the property, such as checking the condition of the HVAC, window seals, electrical outlets, etc. 

New flooring throughout, 2 completely redone bathrooms, took down walls to open the place up a bit, new doors, fresh paint, some crown, lots of patching, light kitchen remodel that include granite tops and an island with concrete top, new dishwasher and range, new HVAC units, moved some electrical around, new garage door, some fresh landscaping, added a fire pit, and gave the porch a facelift with some new posts.

This could be anything from termite damage to problems with the foundation to electrical wiring that is not up to code, etc.
