How many pieces of real estate do you own?

One of the best pieces of advise we received when starting out with our rentals was to keep the utilities in our name and bill the tenants for those utilities (the tenant pays for all utilities). 

Signing a waiver is a piece of cake.  

Improving how we store “extra stuff” was a critical piece of feedback$429 for the shed$100 in supplies$100 more on the wayThis yard shed will have everything this 4-plex needs to ensure that no matter what happens during a guest’s stayWe are prepared!

I've been looking at nothing but major fixers, i figure that's the only place to make it work and since I want it to be walking distance to school, it narrows my search down. glad to hear the co-ed piece isnt an issue. that was a concern of mine originally. good call on the non-related occupants.

@Eamonn McElroy @Wayne Brooks @Ashish Acharya thank you so much for your replies, we will continue to try and coach the accountant on the piece they do not understand.

I have the reserves to put 20% down but I would rather not touch that piece of our savings. 

Hi Everyone,I really appreciate all great pieces of advice you’ve to give here and I already regret for not asking sooner.

Thanks for that valuable piece of advice, David!

Hello,I have wooden flooring in my rental apartments, some of the wooden flooring was partially damaged in the living room and one of the bedrooms, I think I made some poor choices when hiring a flooring contractor as I was a total noob few years ago, it turned out the contractor ripped off the entire  bedroomflooring and installed it with a prefinished flooring which is in stark contrast (a lot darker) with the rest of the apartment and he installed some of the ripped off pieces from bedroom  and installed in the living room to match color but it feels a liite bumpy around that area.
