Here they are:-How can I estimate reno costs if I don't have a clue on prices and I don't bring in a contractor until after I buy the home? 

There are other funds etc. you can invest in that are also passive, that provide better returns than vanguard but again, they have risk involved and is a few hundred extra bucks a month worth the risk?

Quote from @Murray Heidenreich: I had recently sold my house off a few months ago and regret selling.

My rentals have staying full and i have had to lower my rents a little bit but still doing really well.

My name is Michael and I am brand new to the real estate space.

Hey @Dusty Lewis Yep, Jesse and I attend the same meetup. 

Greetings BP folks,My wife and I are negotiating a deal in our area for a home that has a tax lien from the city and county.We have been working with the seller for quite some time and were offered the opportunity to purchase the home at a great price, we also have agreed to pay off the tax lien in addition to the purchase price. 

I don't have it specifically in the lease, but I am thinking  for the next lease renewal or when she moves out and I would have it in the lease for the next tenant. 

And I have sold a few on contract but most re sell for cash..
