@Jonathan TaylorI don’t see it as a positive for landlords for sure .

My sole aim to find a investment property with positive cash and appreciation over long term.

That is a nice start to your REIPlus, home improvements are rarely positive cash flow.

For someone in this position, do you have any recommendations on how to budget for this whilst having no prior history of tenant retention rates?

@mike @Mike Cumbie I've been in this position before and would offer to put down some silly extra EMD to get the seller to stay in contract.

There are so many avenues in real estate I don't know where to start.I am interested in development and multifamily.If you could please leave suggestions and positions I can look into to gain better perspective.All insight and feedbacks are appreciated.

My primary focus in investing is multi family properties with positive cash flow but am not opposed to other projects as well.

So far I have in my mind these positions: new contracts with the utility companies, arrange an insurance, tenant notification letter.What else should be added to the list?

I would also recommend a positive cash flow on day 1 of your ownership and do all expenses except the debt should be around 40% of the gross income.
