Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

You will want curtains, appliances and furniture and petunias for the garden.So principal and interest will be about $1,331 property taxes vary depending on where you are but let’s say $115, home owner’s insurance $100, mortgage insurance $121 so you are paying about $1,665 per month, every month for 30 years.

Is there a local store that sells them? 

It helped create a better sense of community in the complex because everyone felt they were a part of something having ID badges and it helped out the community and local businesses by having loyal customers coming to their stores.

We rebranded, but kept the employees, furniture, equipment, fixtures, etc.

Make sure to do a FHA 203k loan so you can finance most of the renovation and save some money for anything that may come up, and furniture. 

I’d appreciate opinions on adding a patio and allowing tenants to put patio furniture on it.

I also suggest that the tenant install a camera that stores videos of the driveway, then when tenant has proof, you can send notice to owner next door that he is to eliminate hazards he is creating, or you will sue for damages, especially if it costs you tenants, as they can’t afford and shouldn’t have to deal with repeated damage.
