@Bill McCann we have an investor team and PM team.

SFH present different pros and cons but one interesting idea I heard on BiggerPockets Podcast 185: How “Rent-to-Own” Can Increase Cash Flow and Maximize Equity with Bill Powers is "rent-to-own"

I believe this technique is called "referring to a higher power."  :-)

The existing rental agreement specifies that the tenant is responsible for all their own utility usage bills (I pay water for the building, as is typical).

Credit cards don't cost me anything to use if I pay the bill in full every month.If you borrow money on a credit line while you have cash in the bank, the interest rate on the loan is usually higher than the interest rate you can get on the savings.

Househacking will by far be the most powerful thing you can do to sky rocket your net worth once you’re ready to move out.

Practitioners bill differently based on evaluation rating of patients 1-4.  

At 6 weeks it is extremely unlikely it has even started it's training.I would strongly advise you do inspections at most 2 months apart, make repairs immediately and bill back to the tenant. 

If you're buying central you'll likely have to deal with 40-50 years old house (old plumbing, electrical, outdated floorplan, lower ceilings, 1-car or no garage, etc) that will generate higher repair bills during your ownership and higher property taxes.

I use Bill Runck at East Metro insurance for my rentals and personal property.
