A few mechanical companies told me in order to replace the boiler with a more efficient one or to switch to a furnace could quickly add up to the $30k range, or I could keep the current system and get it certified before purchasing.ThanksMelissa Hall

Corbin,From an insurance standpoint, the contractor must have Liability, auto coverage, and Workers Comp. coverage.  

Will he put a mechanics lien on if you fire him?

It auto adds to the gross income of that month to the right place on the summary page.

Within the Square account you can setup auto invoicing. 

Reason being, they just put some money in changing out mechanicals and a new roof.

Mortgages/deeds of trust, judgments, water, state and federal tax liens, HOA/condo liens, mechanics liens.

I have zero mechanical ability but when I bought my first rental I didn’t care if I had to watch YouTube videos and rehab the property myself, I just knew I needed in the game and would somehow figure it out.

They do add back depreciation and some will even add back auto and home office expenses, but not much else.If you are going to be a successful investor you need to invest some time in learning about lending - so you make better investing decisions.Currently, if you have a family member willing to lend you cash, why don't you ask them if they are willing to be your cosigner if you don't qualify for a loan in 6 months?

Again, with the mechanical systems in most homes its relatively easy to see if your electric is outdated (outlets are horizontal) or your furnace is older than 20 years.
