Most living paycheck by paycheck are doing that because of a mindset- a mindset they'd have if they were committed to a regular corporate job.

If you are getting non-recourse and putting 25% down the deal has to underwrite cleanly and be pristine.

The rooter guy says they can be cleaned with the rooter, the jetter guy says rooting doesn't work but they can be jetted and the plumbing contractor says neither of those will work they have to be replaced with plastic.I'm not expecting any trouble like this but forewarned is forearmed.

I am in favor of regular inspections.

Sometimes the spikes and surges from those can fry things.For "no heat", it could be one side of the 240 V to the dryer missing, a bad heating element, bad regular thermostat, bad high-limit switch, or bad control board.

I tell him 1) None of the other tenants have any mold issues, nor have they ever, it's his responsibility to vent the room and clean the walls. and 2) I'll have someone come out and inspect it.

A rental is considered to be an income producing property, so the house could then be sold utilizing all the normal and regular capital gains tax rules.

You may be required to have a sign out, that could mean an office, you'll probably need regular office hours, business phone for the public (as well as regulators).

I'm looking at starting a maintenance &Cleaning company to run parallel with my Property Management company.

See what is affecting their credit score, is it reluctance to make regular payments?
