Your annual budget and reserve funding documents can shed light on that, and you absolutely need to understand them.Owner's are ultimately responsible to pay fines, and typically charge them back to the tenant directly, or if they are using a Rental manager to oversee their unit, the PM would do so.

If you have $25K to put to use, best to use it on kitchen/bathroom remodels, landscaping, fresh paint, hardwood or similar floors instead of carpet, etc.

Can anybody shed a light on this?

I had a friend who used a landscaping company to install a lawn and trim some bushes.

If gas, is the pilot light lit?

Landscaping.

Just bought a house that I'm renovating as part of a BRRRR, and I'm trying to decide what the best material is for flooring, countertops, and lighting.

I have other clients of mine that i have funded over the years and they do a turn key light program they will find  do the fix up for the OOS person and charge a fee ranging from 5k to 10k per property so you get the asset at cost you get the fix up at cost and you have a TRUE PRO who owns over 220 rentals himself managing your rehab.. worth every penny. 

I believe that Real Estate Investing will be a way to have extra income and also will be able to play off the already established family business ( I will be able to do my own landscaping for basically free). 

I am inside of a situation that I mindfully created and I am wondering if anyone could help shed some light from a new perspective for me.
