If you are a limited partner in a syndication, you would not have to go look for properties, do inspections, oversee rehav, work with property management, and a number of other items.

Looking for insight on whether or not repiping our Chicago three flat from galvanized to copper (PEX isn’t allowed) will add any significant resale value.Repiping is on our less urgent list of necessary maintenance items - but it’s looking more and more like it’ll have to happen within the next five years, so we’re beginning to gather information on how new copper plumbing can impact resale value - if at all.Appreciate any input - thanks!

we provide coffee/tea to every guest, and refresh linens per request, provide misc items like car brush/umbrella/battery, etc. 

Sometimes it feels like the bedroom count isn't even that important in relationship to other factors like location, lot size, aesthetic quality, etc.PM me the address for the property, and I will do some research to help you figure out the added value for your specific location. 

I find that having Central air in my Wyoming rental is an item that sets me apart from other advertised rentals and i get a bit of a premium on the monthly rent becasue of it. 

@Michael Stokes Well, a hot tub is definitely an expected item, but otherwise that is frankly nonsense.  

You set it up, you work on it indeed, and once you jhave all the items in place, it is pretty much hands off.

The investor will offer the following:Cash transaction;A quick sale closing with no inspection; andYou can leave behind any items you don’t want.The problems begin when the homeowner is elderly, alone, and doesn’t know the true market value of their property:They may have purchased their property over 20 years ago for $50,000, $100,000, or maybe $200,000.That same property now could have a market value of $300,000, $400,000 or even $500,000.The idea that they purchased the property 20 years ago for $120,000 and are now being offered $220,000 sounds appealing to these homeowners – their mortgage might be paid off and they will make $100,000 – sounds good right?

I’m interested in learning more about contracts, resources such title company, real estate attorney and any other items I may need to use. 

Mortgage interest and real estate taxes as it relates to the personal residence may be benefit you as an itemized deduction.You must allocate the items based on some reasonable methodology whether it be based on square footage or amount of rooms.
