@Andy A. I

Also, have you driven by the house?

@Jassem A. I

I say that just to say it's great to hear someone who wants full lifestyle design and is driven to figure out how to get it.Welcome to BP!

Occupancy and rents are driven by supply and demand.

There were several incidents where if I had not had inspections backed by ethically driven people, I would have had to come out of pocket for some major items.

Luis A. - I think you underestimated the reading time required by a BUNCH!

I'm really just kicking around an imaginary property that represents a lot of what I see coming across my inbox.Dawn A. - I hadn't thought of it that way, roll up any capital expenditures into the mortgage since they have to be amortized anyway and then do minor repairs/cosmetics as expense items.

Had we been driving distance, it would not have sat vacant for 2 months before I found that out, as I would have driven down to check up on her much earlier if I didn't have the cost of flights, rental cars and hotels involved.

I know in your other thread the PM bailed on you, part of what I saw there was you placed the tenant but the PM was expected to manage, usually when this happens the PM does take a "I didn't create the problem so why should I fix it" attitude and they didn't get the leasing fee which is usually their big paycheck that helps them be willing to deal with these problems.Here is what I would do based upon Steven Hamilton II's description of the almost non existent interest on the IRS loan.
