I have experienced first hand with Wendell starting a pipeline and maintaining it.

I guess that my initial inquiry was targeted more towards those here on BP who seem to maintain their W2 jobs even though they´ve developed a large enough RE business to support their goals.

Rather, I suspect that he would like to maintain his privacy while investing in real estate.

The buyer manages, maintains and handles any default or eviction should the assignee walk away or default.

I already have it in my lease that the pet has to be maintained in a clean and hygenic environment (a.k.a no pet smell/mess).I do not charge a pet rent since the rent is already at the high end of the market, but the tenants do pay a pet deposit that is equal to half a month's rent.Hope this helps.

If for some reason you are able to buy and maintain the 12 unit building I would say that within 6 to 7 years you could refinance it and be able to keep going.

I keep my properties well maintained, I response quickly, and expect to be paid on time.

He never reinvested capital back into the place to maintain it and now it needs a lot of work.  

I have mixed feelings about providing appliances if that is not the norm in your area because that is just another item for you to maintain. 

I would definitely replace the countertop with laminate for minimize cost, upkeep and maintain ability to keep clean.
