I've posted a few articles below which outline the new and most restrictive ("progressive") rental laws in the country, which limit the size of security deposits, non-refundable deposits, and requires giving tenants and option for a payment plan to pay move-in fees.

Take time to evaluate what's important to you on that report that gets fixed  and what is the cost ? 

Many investors use IRR to evaluate a property, for example, by setting a minimum of 20% IRR.

For instance, a plumber, carpenter, etc.When you get higher up on the ladder of your business, you then start to do things like manage your subordinates.Above Managers, you must then give reports on the progress of your department, milestone achievements, projections of revenues and income, etc.Above Managers, the CEO level, your vision decides the overall direction of your business.I believe every Investor needs to think of their investments a business and you are the CEO driving that business forward with your vision of the future.You should NOT be a specialist, you should be a Generalist that can gather information such as what is the future migration of people in your area, what is the city planning doing in terms of re-zoning, are there any large scale developments that can affect your business (ie... if you are a mom and pop retail store, Walmart will put you out of business), is there a recession on the horizon?

It also keeps me top of mind to people I have met.3) Learn the numbers - it comes from evaluating properties.

Sounds you like you really hit the ground running and have some clear goals for progressing further -so you're way ahead of a lot of new investors. 

In both cases the housing inspector said the foundation needed further evaluation (but of course went on to add superlatives that I personally don't think they are qualified to say).

I also think investors without strong construction backgrounds need to have a good contractor resource to help evaluate rehab costs BEFORE acquiring property as well.  

This seems to make more sense in a college type setting but another opportunity to increase cash flow from a SFR situation.Keep sharing your progress.

I'm evaluating different solutions myself for my 4 unit.
