(i was a truck driver working 60-70 hours a week it was time for a change). like any other business it takes time.

There should be value added to the property, this should reduce vacancy, BUT do the upfront costs and maintenance $'s added to my CapEx budget negate the added value?

Aside from that, for investing purposes, look at areas with generally lower property taxes as they can eat into your budget.

I think real estate is all about self control, I don’t need a fancy truck I don’t need to go on vacation.

I’m looking for budget friendly ideas on how to heat & cool basement in a rental I have , the basement is finished with a room, bathroom , laundry room & living area .

Eventually, once it's in the budget, I'd recommend LandVision for pulling comps yourself.

Assuming your ARV and reno budgets are accurate, I'd look to go at it that way.

It will cost you $150 to rent a truck and $200 or $300 for a couple of people to load and unload the truck. $500 is way cheaper than going another month or two without a tenant.I would ask the tenant what the problem is with moving before doing anything.

Oddly enough, I don't include CAPEX in my budget.
