Hey Kiraat, how much is your tenant in the rears for?

I think this would make sense in the long run for the rental property as it will extend the life of everything it touches like the Sink, faucets, showers, water heater, dishwasher, and Clothes washer while also providing clean drinking water in addition to the reverse osmosis drinking water system I already have installed.The main problem with this hardness level is that we get a major deposit buildup on all of these items, which will eventually clog up the faucets for tenants and lead to rusty shower enclosures that take forever to clean.In addition to this, it looks like we could likely have the salt added every couple of months by the property managers in addition to that it would allow for a quick inspection from them, and then also we would instead bill the cost of the service onto the ledger for the tenants.For reference, it does not look like the landlords in the area have water softeners.Thank you everyone for your input ahead of time.

Welcome to the forums, @Craig Sparling!

Joe - I would suggest you consider the following:- Google "REIAs" in your local areas.- Search Meet Up App to see what meetings/meet ups are nearby.- Post on craigslist asking about networking with other real estate investors. - I would search Bigger Pockets for members in VT and ask them their thoughts.Greg

She manages the property by herself and it's successfully pulling in 125k/yr.

You can find them in the event forums here and they get very good turnouts.

Remember when I said all it requires is to not get greedy; some would see this and obsess on being at "only" 40% ownership now and completely ignore the fact of how all that math plays out in this. 

The point is to profit by finding a great deal on a property, then passing the deal on to another investor willing to pay more.

I do regular front house portrait first, then a secondary front if there is a wider one for the front setback, then front aerial (one, if you did them), then I always start with the walkthrough of the house to tell a story in photos.
