I think the expected maintenance issues (plumbing, HVAC, and the like) really ate into cash flow that I developed over time and has kept me at a plateau-like position.

You can also put an inspection contingency, so you can renegotiate or back out if issues arise during inspection.

That cost is highly dependent on whether you're pulling permits and doing plans with full engineering, or just common sense building without permits, of course.

So if you don't have the work history, it's not an issue. 

While it's not common, the rate can be changed prior to closing in certain circumstances. 

I just wanted to know, would there be an issue if you wanted to use a 1031 exchange if all of your properties were in a holding LLC?

We also tell them when they’re going to get their security deposit back and what requirements they have, which are the requirements that are spelled out in the lease, but we highlight the typical problem issues like cleaning, lightbulbs, cutting the lawn, removing all their possessions,… Etc.

This pain is going to be either in you labor, legal fights, tenant issues, but most likely a combination of all of them.

Usually projecting issues they were not prepared for yet.

the issue right now is that with both prices and rates high, it is very, very tough to have cash flow unless you're employing some kind of creative and/or hands-on and/or value-add strategy, or combination of strategies.
