Anyway I would like to do some renovations to the home now (cosmetics only.. exterior work mainly) and also start working on kitchen and bath cosmetic updates.

I am in the Seattle area now, I have a friend who is in Utah, who is also looking to get into investing as well, so I'm not sure if I should stay here or start there.

If you are wanting to stay in the real estate market, you could buy multiple SFR depending one the area or you could be more passive and buy into a syndication or REIT.   

You could make it clear that she needs to move out by end of October if she can't get and stay caught up. 

I would rather stay away if you have to cover electric. 

I only say appear because I hope the IRS makes it abundantly clear with its updated guidelines due any day now but agree that we should all assume as much until then. 

Hello everyone!!! My name is Chensea and I’m new to the community. I’m so exited abt this website and all it has to offer. I heard abt it from a client of mine a while back when we were discussing the Rich Dad Poor Da...

I have a question (or a few) that I'm sure has been talked about already but for the sake of staying up to date with the latest info, I'll ask anyway to see if we can get a good conversation going. 

Keep us updated on your deals. 

They do it because it feels more like a home and the renters stay longer.
