So, after 10 minutes of preheating, the stove wouldn't be 425/450 or whatever she was setting it to, because it wasn't preheated enough.Would you charge the tenant the repairman's bill for his base visit cost, or should we eat the cost because we chose to not go over and test what she was claiming, before we called in a repairman?

Typically, we do a test-fit for the prospective tenant, get a construction budget and negotiate from that.Thanks for reading.Dan Biber

I am somewhat aware of the hot market, but want to test the waters.

I love hearing from these old school battle tested investors.

Testing was done on septic but not on the well.

Purchase price: $98,000 Cash invested: $22,000 Sale price: $200,000 This is my first BRRRR and I'm very excited to test this strategy.

Test for reason though.For housing do comps and build yourself your profit buffer.

.- Can you option it and do a perk test (all 4 seasons) and if it's a no go, just move on to find another property.- Can you get a septic tank back there (delivery and access).- Can you get a septic clean out company back there (access and available service).- Is it land locked.Just my 2 cents.

Get those utilities billed back, fill up that empty unit (that would be a good test piece for a light remodel to see what you could get for rents).

And if the property only needs a surface level rehab, a retail buyer is getting it with no profit potential in mind.That comes back to off-market deals, which as noted are possible, but will take a lot of time, testing many approach angles (have you knocked on doors yet?)
