This even makes file keeping even easier because I don't have to have files locked and highly encrypted/secure because they have social security numbers on them.The problem: I never get the social security number once they become a tenant.

I'm guessing it prob needs a little cleaning up.

Well, if you dislike BO so much that you won't listen to him, you'll never know what his basic plan is that he has mentioned, oh, maybe 50 times.Something that went under the Radar Joel, was that many of the large corporations, even small ones, saw the economic crash as an oportunity to clean house, they didn't have to fire all that they did, but they saw the opportunity to cut overhead and increase profits while getting out of contracts, so they did.

In the past we've included water bills in our lot rent, as we don't have many tenants and it's just easier, but recently the small towns we are in have raised their water and sewer rates so high that it's eating us alive and we are looking into sub metering.

If you are looking to resell the units in a short amount of time then consider SFR because the resale is easier, the gains can be higher and the interim rent is higher as well.Tim Czarkowski makes a good point about financing.

However after talking with multiple mold specialists it can run 1k-35k just for clean up and if that is the case I figured another 20k in construction costs.

But then again, it's easier to catch up with folks when it's not too crowded.

Then it took me another two weeks to clean and fix and get the place re-rented.

As the market appreciates and you turn around to sell them, it is going to be a lot easier to sell a single family home than an apartment complex.

@Emilio Hey Emilio, the walls are 10" inches thick because the basement height is 9'.I used Asak on the exterior way porch/posts/trim, its easier to work with, will not rot, and lasts forever.
