I'm not sure what else to do, but we have a month before the new tenant moves in and we'd like to get something done that is cost effective (not tearing out the ceiling again :).

Subleasing gives the tenant flexibility, freedom, and options and gives the landlord a substantial increase in risk and liability with no financial reward.I enjoy providing property management and real estate information

I received an estimate to make room for a hot tub that does NOT include the cost of a hot tub.

I don't mind paying for a market research subscription that's worth the cost.

However, our ins/taxes are increasing, and our payment would go up as soon as we lifted the homestead exemption as well.

It actually doesn't matter if you are purchasing for cash or financing - it matters how much the purchase + reno will cost compared to the after repair value.

We are thinking that we can trade the amount of effort that we are putting into the C class properties for self managing STR and significantly increase our cashflow while buying in a better class (more appreciation upside).

Partner Driven financed the Roberts Rd deal using its own capital, covering the $50,000 purchase price and $2,000 in renovation costs.

Also, we plan to make the farmhouse and growing building/s nearly net zero, which will lower cost of utilities to zero.

Do I need a *business* checking account to accept rent payments and pay for maintenance/repair costs as they arise?
