I have looked into the windows and currently have a contractor quoting it out, however it is extremely expensive and there are no promises that it will improve the noise.

Hi all,I currently use RentRedi and am trying to deal with the following situation:- I have a bunch of prequalifications and applications in my queue- I've accepted one tenant and filled the unitMy question is, "How should I mark the others down in the software that would have passed my screening standards?"

Currently rented for $1800/mo.

I have read and am currently reading books on real estate and real estate investing.Following my readings up to date, I am considering house hacking for my first deal in real estate.

We currently own two other duplexes and we've house-hacked all of them.

I ask to take a walk through and document the current condition as my agreement states they can not damage the property during this process. and of course don't give them anything until you have walked through verified they are out and have voluntarily handed over keys. 

If loan balance is $300k and it's worth $400k and an equity partner puts $40k to bring it current then they have about 40% of equity in the property - now they would not take straight $40k as probably more costs involved.

@Khaled SeirafiRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

if it’s illegal today, I don’t want inspector to show up and have more problemsI read about houses build before 1957 so if in current condition I would go to the city to get permitted, would 7ft ceiling still be a problem?

I am currently searching for a job in property management because I feel it will give me solid experience and knowledge to tackle my own properties one day (and I am in need of a career change).
