There was no process in place for the removal of large items and none of the tenants thought to bring it to our attention!

In the first 4 months I've spent many hours and multiple trips to the house and stores and internet shopping and researching to replace parts on the dryer and the ice machine in the freezer.

I am looking to do my first two deals simultaneously (one 4-plex, one duplex, same town) and would like some advice on a few items.

I think back to The Rich Dad Poor Dad book when as a kid he was given a choice to stay working at the convenience store or learn how to grow wealth.

@Ramsey Howard yes, two important items for what you are describing:1.

The manufacturer of these models also sends two crew members to make connections, and all of the interior items and finishes are pre-installed, and stand tall against code.

The Bigger Pockets book store if full of great books: https://www.biggerpockets.com/store

By purchasing the borrowers non-attached items we are able to give the borrower a small amount of money AFTER the closing while acting with integrity and within in the law.  

I live with my mom she is disabled and i do all the driving and running to stores for her, she gets like $900 a month  with just that and my income its hard to survive on. might be more easy now idk we got rid of the house cause my dad passed and we couldnt afford it anymore 3 months ago . and we are trying to save money to move to biloxi mississippi we are staying at my aunts right now.

She's resorted to intentionally running up utilities and running the washing machine and dryer for one item.
