I would also say that if the mower needs to be replaced, then you would subsidize part of the cost to replace so that the tenants have some skin in the game.  

I  would like to switch attorneys, because I feel he isn't giving this much effort, but that is hard also because I don't know how deep he is into my pocket. 

So glad you've already plugged into the Bigger Pockets podcast - that was a huge source of education for me when I first started.You mentioned that you had solid mortgage brokers lined up, but if I could add from experience...I would recommend that you talk to multiple lenders (banks, mortgage brokers, credit unions, etc.)

I’m new to the game and striving to put an effective marketing strategy together.

Go thru all the Forums here in Bigger Pockets and use whatever you like as your ideas and you will also find as many guest speakers as you like. 

I'm relatively new to Bigger Pockets but I am a "value guy" -- LOVE unlocking value where it is going undiscovered.

Hi Everyone,  I've been watching Bigger Pockets for about a year now but this is my first post.  

I came across Bigger Pockets and was instantly intrigued, not only by the way they explained real estate investing to a newbie, but by the challenge it can create creatively and mentally.

You want to help companies make financial decisions based on risk, well they are going to want you to have a lot of skin in the game to do that.

Disclaimer, I haven't used this, or even purchased my first property yet, but Integra Realty Resources is mentioned in the bigger pockets podcast as a source of cap rates, I think it was episode 265 with Andrew Propst.
