., it's the second half of the post.That's not to say list quality doesn't matter, but a provider like ListSource is going to be good enough.One additional tip - you can make your lists a lot more powerful by "segmenting" them.

In saying that, depending on your level if knowledge, option 1 is probably a better one. because $3000 is not enough of a buffer to service the property if you need to repair things.

Any repairs and maintenance done while in service is deductible.   

I forgot to check the jacuzzi tub before renting it out recently and now the new tenant is asking me to repair the the tub (the shower works).My question is, should I make the repair?

I would raise Repairs to 5%.  

As for the reconstruction work.....since most of the damage was from flooding, I’m guessing most owners did not have flood insurance which means owners will be paying out of their own pocket.....leading to a lot of homes not being rebuilt/repaired and a lot of DIY repairs by homeowners, due to a lack of money.

Hi @Natasha Richardson,I wish I could answer your question more directly but it all depends on the location, quality of property, recent sales activity, supply and demand.

At the moment I am doing about a $15k remodel and repair to this house.

More importantly, there will be high turnover which leads to turnover costs, more repairs, more leasing fees and just way more headaches - especially when you're supposed to be passively investing from across the country.
