If it does not add value you do not spend money beyond necessary repairs.There is absolutely no reason to reinvent the wheel if the system is functioning as is.

Graded and trenched along the rear wall to fix a leak in the basement.

It is one of the most amazing ways to build your portfolio and get land lording experience with "training wheels" on!

RE Is nothing but numbers, you just better know themGood luck PS I posted this a few months ago, YES its this simpleHey all, I see so many posts, " I am researching, " I am doing my homework" , I am trying to build my team" "Deciding on which area" So many are TRYING but never do anything, like a hamster on a wheel, A LOT of movement but staying in the same place.

Not knowing where you are talking about here are some details: The property must meet health and safety codes, it must fit the General Plan, it must be contiguous with use on the street and the tract, not cause parking problems, not cause utility stress, neighbors can object, you may need architectural or engineering, plans, specs, drawings to submit with your proposal, there may be a public hearing, it costs money, you will want to walk the neighborhood to convince the people tp the left right and rear to be on your side...

One big repair (furnace, roof, sewer line) and/or a few months of unanticipated vacancy can knock you on your rear.

The wheel strategy and calls on bug tech and airlines.

This is a tool we explore with clients who want "off the Ferris wheel" use when they want to make that jump from active to passive. 

Obviously these are problems that can be overcome by just holding the A-B for the "seasoning period" before doing the B-C but than the increased risk and time value of money rears its head.Thanks for the good advice on this subject.
