We try to learn and grow everyday, and we know BP is a great source and tool to help us do this.Thank you,

Robert, use the tools on the site to run your numbers and to make sure that the rent will cover all your expenses. 150 amps is more than enough for a SFH, i wouldn't change that and the roof, if its a 3 tab shingle, you have another 10 years at least, the pipes i would be Leary about, but like you said, if its not broken don't fix it, that can run you some money, especially if all the pipes are in the slab. the reason they have been there for 25 years is because of the rent, i would raise it but keep it a little lower than area rents, always good to have a long term renter.

If you're in growth mode, leverage is one of the best tools out there to expand.

By the sounds of it the equity you have in your current properties is a significant tool you can use to secure financing of some kind including a home equity line of credit or maybe a refinance.

There are certain types of debt instruments (such as mortgage debt) that should be used solely as a tool to build wealth and acquire assets that will directly impact your net worth.

Hey BP Crew.I was curious when it's expected that the "Tools" available to PRO members will make it to the BP App?  

Is there a public website or tool to find accurate rental comps on a property you are analyzing?

Unfortunately, I'm not from KY so I can’t give you any names but you should try using the "Find Members" tool here on BP.

I am even building a software tool that bridges my two passions...real estate and technology :)  The tool intelligently and automatically sources awesome deals for real estate investors and I would love my fellow BiggerPocketers to check it out because I am building it to help not only myself, but others too! 

There are variations to it, but essentially you pick your farm area and go and study 50 homes within it.
