Turned hot water all the way up and left washer connection leaking.  

If I was going to only be able to wholesale this property, I would not have gotten this deal.I still love wholesaling and I do it all the time but these are three lessons that I definitely have learned that have added some water tools to my tool belt in order to be more effective in my business.We are looking for some passive partners who would be interested in getting involved in some of our rental and flip deals in New York from a passive perspective.

The strategy would work  better if it were your primary residence, but it becomes more difficult if you're trying to convert a SFH to a true two-tenant duplex.1) You'd must likely be violating zoning (Unless area was zoned MF), so you'd have to hope the conversion flies under the radar.2) Utilities is the biggest hurdle, as a SFH only has one water, electric, and gas meter.

In hot infill we pay 100  to 200k just for the lots.. in the lower end price points were 95% of the sales if not 100% are to investors the values are only going to follow the 1% rule type of thing even though U dont use cap rate for SFRs the reality is the investor does.. and will only pay for a given rent..

Even though in some places one organization collects taxes for multiple taxing jurisdictions....for example the county may collect for, the county, the city, the school district, the hospital district, the community college district, the water supply, the noxious weed control district, etc, the individual entities may have lists too they would give you.   

I want atleast 200$ per door cash flow . if you look at the top hot markets your going to find getting good cashflow is extremely difficult if not impossible .

It has different rules than a service animal, but is nevertheless not considered a pet and can land you in hot water for treating it as such.

I live in a HCOL area (Seattle), where the market is still relatively hot and a seller's market.

Here are the knowns:Rent per tenant: $750 (this is below market value due to deferred maintenance, I believe $1,000-1,200 is more realistic)Property taxes: $900 per yearLandlord insurance: $1,000 per yearLandlord pays water/trash: claims to be $125 per month (will ask for proof)Landlord is in charge of snow removal and mowing lawnThere are 5 electric meters, each tenant pays their own (landlord covers hallway and outdoor lights)What I plan to ask for is the copies of the leases, copies of the utility bills, and copies of bank statements showing the tenants are actually paying on time.

If it is a covered loss, it's a covered loss, and you will get what your policy states.If I have an insured event, like a backed up sink that causes water damage in the unit, it's not going to matter to my payout whether the renter had a renters policy or not.
