Soil condition.

(A tenant will make sure he has an extra key) If a tenant contacts you after hours to handle an emergency, make it clear in your lease what an emergency is (burst pipe indoors, giant crack in a load bearing wall, tree limb crashes through the bedroom window, etc.).Most of all, keep the relationship professional, friendly but businesslike.

Soil is wet.I have sent rehabber $25K in 2 separate times (4 weeks apart); I told him he already has $25K so he has plenty of money to do more than 50% of the rehab and that I will pay the rest of the $10K plus the $4k 'SUPRISE' after rehab is completed.

So many people would not be doing it successfully if the market wouldn't bear it.
