.:- Perhaps some concerns about tenants putting money into the property and somehow getting some vested interest in the property..That would be my only concern, and I would consult an attorney about it.If all is well, I would have the tenant sign an agreement stating that landlord is not responsible for cost of upgrade, nor will reimbursement be given in any form.

I'm primarily a buy and hold investor/landlord but am working on my first flip.I'm still a novice to this Real Estate game but the time has come to ramp it up and get busy.

I've never paid a landlord late, either.

If he says no......no problem, remember he is a landlord which may mean he has cash to buy properties.

That means this property is likely to go to a landlord.

I personally prefer NH because of the landlord laws, but if you manage property as a job, you already know exactly what you're getting into.

So I just got back from a VERY productive meeting with an out-of-town landlord who's tenants just moved out.

Hi Michael,You are getting the numbers turned around.If landlord does not pay utilities such as water etc. then you use 50% costs but if utility is paid go 60% costs.NOI is before debt service and NOT after.

Last thing you want is sick tenants saying see where there was mold but the landlord just through some paint on it so we wouldn't see and we got sick from it.

BP,Two questions:- Does anyone know of any statistics illustrating the percentage of landlords that actually get sued by their tenant?
