Spell out in the lease the cost for a gardener is $300 and snow removal $200 a pop if she fails to maintain you go to full service and lease increases.

I'm looking for the lowest entry-point level to generate cash flow and learn the real estate business.

It’s also located in a very good area where I think the property value will continue to increase in the next 7 years.  

@Nathan Gesner I agree, because my rental is a business and I shouldn't waver away from the screening process even if its just a trusted contractor, but funding is what we need and I heard the SBA is a good source but is slow, thanks for responding.

Don't overpush your real estate business early to investors because you are there to learn first.

For the moment, it's good enough that the home value and rent value continue to increase with everything else in Lakewood, but is this the peak?

Amending tax returns increases your IRS audit risk and should be avoided if there're alternatives.If you expect to owe the IRS, you will be risking IRS penalties if you miss the deadline.

I'm determined to increase my income so I can invest in multifamily real estate, but I'm hitting roadblocks due to various limitations.First off, I'm the primary caregiver for my father, and his ongoing medical expenses are a significant financial responsibility.

Good business relationship?

Both would appreciate the monthly income over a lump sum as well, and it will help with taxes as the property is inherited and has increased in value.
