We are aware we can find a big ticket item in need of repair/replacement and have that taken care of in 2022, to help our tax situation.

Bridget, buy a plane ticket, fly to GA and spend a weekend, or a week, driving around and get to know these areas.

The key to selling real estate, or any big ticket item really, is to remain top of mind for that topic for as many people as possible.

When I mentioned capital reserves, I did not mean repairs and maintenance but rather the big ticket items such as new roof, carpet, appliances, furnaces and other big ticket items that need a savings available to pay for them.When it comes to income properties, many investors calculate profitability using the 50% rule.

I hope someone is interested, because tickets are already purchased!

One of the reasons BRRRR can be great is you generally already replace big ticket items like that at the start.Vacancy is heavily dependent on management and your area, but 5%-10% is common.

If it's a FSBO and the seller is with you during the walkthru, ask him about recent repairs he's had completed on big ticket items (capital expenditures) and if he as documentation.  

I was thinking of looking for contractors that do a lot of kitchen and bathroom renovations since those are big ticket items (home value). 

Hi Everyone,How much would you weigh things like previous: DWI/DUIs, unpaid or late-paid speeding or parking tickets, misdemeanors or gross misdemeanors for possession of drugs like marijuana (where it is not legal), when screening potential tenants?

Yeah, that would feel a lot harder than "find a wholesaler", because every where you turn seems there is 10 wholesalers who according to them, they all have the golden ticket, just ask them.
