On the other hand, one could argue that if you choose a good real estate attorney to draft your loan docs and guide you through the process, the money is just as well spent there.)Another thing is that, as a guru Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad) is "information light" (on specifics), but I do feel his books have a number of "philosophical gems" (ways of looking at things) which are extremely valuable.

Hi All,I'm researching buying a large 4-5 bedroom house in the suburbs of Boston and converting to light special needs housing.

I just received leases today actually, totaling 1650$, the mortgage impound account is for 800$.Hope I shed some light on your conundrum.

Hampton Bay is often the default product line for flippers for cabinets, ceiling fans, lighting fixtures, etc.

I just want to support my wife so I can retire... she is my cash flow  LOL.. its fund she is super proud.. and I am proud of her I make light of it a little as we have both been in the industry for a combined 60 years LOL.. so you would think we would have learned something by now.

The more experienced you are, the better you can deal with these things.As real estate investors we owe it to ourselves to know (or learn) our business, get good counsel when we don't know or are unsure, and then proceed when the profit vs. the risks give us a clear green light.

My best advice then is tread lightly.

I hate shopping, but was super stoked to see the Ryobi 6-tool cordless set on sale at Home Depot for $199.I already have the drill, have already lost the reciprocating saw and light, so those are nice to have back in the arsenal.

@Joe FunariThat $2,000/year/property...so that covers small things (light bulbs, handyman, etc) AND large replacements (roof, paint, damage, water heater, etc)?

We unified the floors by doing a gorgeous light colored LVP throughout, painted the interior SW Incredible White, new basic granite countertops, new prefab bathroom vanities, new toilets, added a fence to the yard, upgraded all switches to rockers and replaced all fixture with flush mount LEDs.
