@Charlie Cooper   when you say "25%+ CoC" are you considering appreciation (internal CoC) or not?

It's much better to understand the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Discounted Cash Flow, Future Value (FV), Cap Rates, Appreciation Values given a Rate, etc.

Comes furnished bit some of the stuff is alittle rough.

I think you bought in a good area for appreciation, you are right on the edge of some good stuff and near downtown.

Rules should be enforced consistently without me having to battle internally about it.

Then I transfer it internally in my bank into the individual building’s checking account.

Within the next year, ill be doing work to the property laying down some sweat equity.My question is this: In everyone's experience, has nicer (not the cheapest builder-grade stuff you can find) materials translated to attracting a more qualified and responsible tenant?

I’m paying down debit and working with the Lexington law firm to get stuff removed.

Cats aren't scavengers - even in the wild they won't eat random dead stuff they find unless they're really desperate.

A great thing for you and your husband to do is find the stuff you don't like and sub it out.
