We are currently in the process of renovating each of the units we are occupying, to include LVP flooring, recessed lighting, new paint, trim, etc.

This is a different strategy, but many people still do well going down this route instead of traditional annual leases. 

The contribution to Traditional IRA will be tax-deductible so while you use after-tax dollar to make the contribution it will be recalculated when you file your taxes and you will get a deduction for it. 

Hi Does anyone have any recommendations for a good electrician for a recessed lighting job in the Murrieta/Temecula area?

On the nose, I agree that this is certainly a deal traditionally reserved for a seasoned professional.

I could take on the cost of removal but be reimbursed for it without the seller paying out of pocket (if they are unable) they would just get less money when I refinance into a traditional mortgage.  

While her business is more traditional seller and buy sales, I want to focus my business on the investor. 

I’d like to get any information or suggestions on data I should include in the presentation in order to:1) present the partnership in a favorable light while maintaining a balanced view of it as a whole, and2) provide enough information in the presentation to give my potential partner a good understanding of, or “feel for,” the partnership, and/or serve as a springboard for future conversation and analysis.An additional, related question: in what way(s) would a business presentation for a potential equity partner differ from a presentation for a hard money lender or private investor?

If this all works out, then there may be light at the end of the tunnel for the OP and other NY landlords in this current bind.

I have knob and tube wiring for some of my lights and outlets in my future rental property.
