I know I am not a huge investor and have come to realize that for my age I could be doing more.

I am planning on redoing the roof and siding of a building that I just purchased, and want to estimate how much it could potentially increase the appraised value.Hopefully by now you realize that some repairs make no difference in the value but still help get the place sold.

Tenants are polite, call when they say they will, show up for appointments when they say they will, paid application fee with no hesitation - while I realize this isn't really a screening method - judging from how many no shows, rude people and people who balked at application fees, it is a pleasant surprise to deal with someone well, pleasant.

Of course you realize that it's not really worth $170K or it would have sold, but that's beside the point now.

I didn't realize that carrying a balance on revolving credit is one of the biggest things that affected my score.Is this the case even if the balance is under 50% of the credit limit (or even under 30%)?

I realize that investors often feel (and, correctly) that a day of lost rent can never be earned again.

I realize that every property is unique, but is there a rule of thumb?

I decided to join after reading so many helpful posts and realizing that I wasn't taking advantage of huge network of RE Investors.
