I have never had any tenant object to paying an extra $35 per month to have the softener, that is about what they cost to rent from softener companies.

It's not worth the extra monthly income that comes with getting involved with low income renters.

For instance, one property seems to have an extra bathroom that is not listed in the county records.I plan to make some modifications, including removing a closet wall to expand a bathroom and taking out a kitchen island that contains electrical outlets and a switch.

Unfortunately, it was on the Monday after our vacation ended and I couldn't get the extra day off.Anyone have experience with Sheriff's sales? 

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: So that's 7 months......now investors will have to add a bit into their flip budget to cover the extra 3 months (or so) holding costs... will make overall costs go up though... 

Alot of the training teaches you about apps, and events coming in the future that are really commercials because ofcourse you have to pay extra for them. they have so many different parts and systems for instance I just found out today that the one on one coaching i thought I signed up for where they fund you deals and you split 50/50 has 3 parts.

They will promise upgraded furniture or extras to keep your money. 

I am not currently using a property manager, so any other extra insulating layer that I can get is useful to me.  

But I will say I am and going to be extra conservative going forward.

I've been focusing on residentials and hoping to use the proceeds from there as extra income to invest more.
