I currently have 1 Duplex fully rented in Barrington from a previous house hack, looking for my next step.

I didn't initially want pets, but it seems everyone has at least 1 dog.

Initial CapEx Funding at property closing: At closing, as part of my 'cash needed to close' calculation, I take 3% of the sales price and set it aside in a separate CapEx savings account.  

(I found her by initially offering $40).

I admittedly was not prepared for the hate and was, initially, surprised by it. 

The direct consequence is that our initial cash-neutral property just became CF positive in Year 2 and it will keep improving year after year (as long as you can increase rent in line with inflation, and that expenses also follow the same pattern).

Seems like natural next step then if you already have multifamilies  :)  Best of luck!! 

It was not an easy one, since we are in CA and the property is in OH, but we made it through and are looking to take on our next project.Bought: $79,900Initial budget: $65,000Real budget: $97,000 (mismanaged project by initial contractor (and second contractor))ARV: $219,900Improvements:Brand new siding on the second floor (was not in the initial budget)New roof (was not in the initial budget)Sealed and painted the basement - was quite creepy down there beforeOpened the floor plan from the living to the kitchen by widening an existing walkwayMoved the kitchen from one side of the house to the other to capitalize on the stained glass windowsGutted the upstairs bathroom and added really good looking featuresAdded a half bathroom and laundry room downstairs by the entry to the backyardNew ACNew plumbingNew electricOur contractor performed extremely poorly on this job, and I am happy to share a cautious word with anyone who aims to invest in Cincinnati about the team at Kaiker Development and Creative Customs Carpentry.

@Phillip Denny Congrats on the steps you've taken so far!

I would probably just let the vehicle owner know what company removed it and provide tow company with vehicle owner information.I would imagine Texas is similar to Florida where you would be able to easily make the call to get the vehicle removed from your private property, but the additional steps would help you out on the off chance they go after you civilly for having the vehicle removed, any damages as the result of the tow, or business methods the tow company may employ in an attempt to make money from the vehicle owner for the time they have the vehicle on their lot (who knows with tow companies).
