If the tenant reports the electric is out but the electrician determines they failed to plug their computer into an outlet, that is a tenant-caused service call and the tenant should be held responsible.

I have many stories of construction 'surprises' or unexpected costs from hiring or literally just giving money to unlicensed contractors.

I believe as well that they should include more stories of overcoming unexpected challenges, such as a tenant causing significant damage to a property, and how the investor navigated the situation.

They'll be able to provide multiple quotes same day or within 24-48 hours, and often even obtain better pricing as a broker than you would see as a consumer, as some brokers obtain wholesale pricing which allows them to be a more beneficial outlet to the lenders they work with.Confirming this rental property is turn-key with no rehab needs?

If you don't want to buy used appliances, I've found the sears outlets in north olmstead and willoughby to have good deals on new appliances with 12months same as cash financing.

I would instead save that extra cash every month for 1) cash reserves (over-leveraging is the "unexpected" demise of most real estate investors) and 2) to save for a down payment and upgrades for your next investment property.  

It's been fun, and on the plus side almond colored outlets and that dated wood paneling is super cheap!

If you find anything out, let me know I’d be interested in what you learn!

We've paid $2200 down and the entire course is $22K.We had a wholesale deal to literally fall in our laps unexpectedly, so I called to see if they could help us with that before taking the classes. 

If you can replace a faucet/outlet/ lock, install a door, or snake a drain, and show up on time, you'll be overwhelmed with business. if you work for another handyman for a year or two,or get in good with a local landlord, you'll have all the experience you need for a decent career.
