So I called Terminix, they said since it's just a termite contract, they don't take care of powderpost beetles...

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a rental and was wondering if I could go for a couple months with out one (3) or should I have one in place from the onset...the property has a stable tenant in place, I do have lawn care and a HVAC person.

Every property we acquire going forward will have to be carefully analyzed  to see how much we want to maximize the depreciation and risk the FFE "loss" on a 1031.

What do you care what the agent charges for doing ALL the work for BOTH sides? 

I think part of the resistance is that we worry and we care.

Sometimes it’s a misunderstanding about what you want because there are owners that see rentals as cash cows and don’t care if they fall down and others who care about the upkeep and tenant quality affecting the neighborhood. 

GOOGLE "Harry Marsh Charlotte Attorney". he can take care of everything

Regarding your question, intuitively you'd think a bank would only care about NOI/cap rate/equity at purchase vs when you refinance, but I may be wrong, hopefully others who have been through the refinance process can share their wisdom.

Be careful with wholesalers, there are a few that offer "deals" they find on Zillow at a low price and add their fee to the sellers asking price or they offer you deals that aren't deals at all as they are offered at prices a shade lower than the MLS.
