I envisioned a high standard of living with the list of your upgrades.

A "break-even level of cash flow" should not be your minimum standard.

You mentioned you have an agent, the issues you discuss are pretty standard, he/she should be able to assist you.

I guess I have been lucky with displays for more standard kitchens.

My experience was that it was a fairly standard purchase process.

I'm not a landlord, so I'm not familiar with the standard PM agreements, but no way would I have signed that.I absolutely interpret that as you've given the PM company the right to move forward with the eviction.

Hi all,My accountant just got back to me about filing my 2013 taxes and he says I need to file 1099s for all the contractors I paid over $600 for over the course of the year.Is this standard protocol for real estate investors or is my accountant misinterpreting how I'm using the contractors.

I am in the process of investing in out of state properties. doing my research on the forum 3 things are key. (1) a good PM and (2) a good trustworthy realtor and (3) a good RE attorney.(1) and (3) are doable by reading reviews and doing some standard interviewing with them - however I have an issue with (2).

Ok so I have been doing a lot of reading on rentals and I know the 50% rule is the standard rule to go by when analyzing these deals.

I am meeting with several investors tomorrow at an informal meetup and will present these options.Are different rules applied between each state or are these set standards of practice nationwide?
