Some of this might be do to seasonality (I don't have anything to compare to because I started marketing on FB about 9 months ago). 

I am in the process of settlement on my 1st property in 1 week. i have a 5% down conv loan thru a credit union bank. this a duplex and is a row house. i plan to live in one unit and rent out the other. the seller is also selling the duplex property next to it.

From what I've been reading, it sounds like this is the time to change to copper piping but it sounds like it will cost a lot and take some time to complete.

Hello,I have several ways to fund a down payment on my first investment property and would like to know the "safest" way to do so...Cash, borrow against my 401K (and does this method constitue the start of my investments) or HELOC. 

Does this also mean “selling” the property to the LLC and paying capital gains tax?

I’m debating if this is worth it in the long run because If I do then I get them paid off earlier but at the same time I could be using that extra money to expand my portfolio and buy more houses .

The bill, introduced by Assemblyman Isaac Bryan (D-Los Angeles), would require local governments to update hazard mitigation plans to address extreme heat by January 1, 2028.CAA’s concerns center around the potential for costly retrofitting mandates, particularly for older buildings not equipped for modern HVAC systems.

I've only dealt with residential at this point but am looking into self storage and on my search for commercial I stumbled upon a car dealership property where the owner is moving out of state and motivated to sell the property.

Hopefully a tax expert can weigh in on this topic, as that's who should be answering your questions.

To me, this is a cost that won't "add value" to your BRRRR, so I would more strongly consider how much it might impact your ability to rent the unit/house.
