I added value by renovating the the back unit, and converting my garage into a studio for extra cash flow.

@Peter MorganHi Genny,It just occurred to me, are there any products that enhances balcony roofing sort of an extra projection like a baseball cap to ward off piling snow or rain water that falls directly into the balcony?

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

Rent it out and then refinance the property and pay my FIL back everything he spent on the deal and hopefully pay him extra for funding the deal. 

Better to lose $250 than an extra months rent. 

For example, if you are looking to scale your portfolio with the BRRRR method but cant find deals that are discounted, could you do upgrades to the house (new front porch, kitchen, bathrooms, extra bedroom, finished garage/basement etc)?

Is it worth it to seek those extra few points of yield?

If they say they won’t stay for the $50 extra, can I go back to their current price and ask if they’ll stay again?

Personally I plan to just keep saving reserves, keeping my CapEx, vacancy, and repairs, paying down a little extra on my mortgage each month and taking a little bit toward my next investment.

My property management company seems find way to add extra fees every year.What does property management cover?
