Given you did a pretty good job identifying expenses and have a line item for your utilities I don't think you would have missed that.However I also agree that 5% maintenance is kind of low especially if you aren't putting away anything towards CapEx reserves too.

But in some cases, all of the nearby rentals already include these items, so it can be tougher to get a good tenant when you are lacking something that the competition has.

I also just spoke to a friend and if I start doing volunteer work a Habitats' Re-Sell I will be able to purchase incredible bargains.[ I have never volunteered at their stores before but have volunteered with the actual refurbishing]my son and I are both autistic [ NO that is not his disability.

We have the LLC because we want brand our business and we plan on holding property for resale and rentals in the future.It was one of the first items on our "vision board" and helped us start moving forward.

One bad item will not disqualify a tenant, but several will start to paint a picture.

We make it clear that if the property has a community basement that tenants are storing items at your own risk.

Have you obtained a recent credit report to compare with the report when your score was 790 to identify if there are any errors or new items outside of the mortgages?

Generally, you'll only need to do this for Balance Sheet items (because the QB CFS starts with net income, so income/expense items are already captured) .

Hey Vicki,I feel your pain too:( My partner and I are right next store to you- we own and manage a bunch of rentals in South Redford.

If you want assurances that certain items are good/bad/acceptable, you'd likely need to contact the individual trades that deal with each item (roof, foundation, electric, HVAC, etc.).
