I am still new to this game, and have a SFR in Melbourne, which was mildly affected by Irma, and I am curious what everyone does for storm cleanup in regards to tenant vs landlord responsibilities.My rental house had some porch roll roof peeled off, the wood fence blew over and a shutter came off. 

HI BP, I want to borrow some funds off of my Dad for a quick rehab but he's new to the lending game and I've never borrowed short term before so we're both curious as to what's the norm for this type of loan?  

Appears in pretty good shape from an online search.  

I'd like to retire or maybe semi-retire in about 10 - 15 years.I've been going through the BiggerPockets webinars, and hitting every online resource I could find for the last 2 months.I've settled on trying to purchase a Multi-Family 5+ building on Chicago's SouthSide.

You ccan search online what the average price is for a repair - IE- thermocouple for water heater. etcI think Cozy is a good website for basic PM stuff.  

Hi @Shawn Ackerman -  Thank you for the tips re: networking.Does anyone have any feedback concerning my last paragraph in my initial post (pasted below)?"

@Nettles Mason  Thanks for the tip in accessing tarrant county clerk's website. 

You don't want to be the only listing agent that isn't playing games with list price to get an artificially high "average % over asking" number.

@Lakeem Anore I appreciate the feedback  and the wise tips.

Then you technically have nothing to lose and the banks wants to still see you have skin in the game.
