Georgia Power has informed us that we need to "fix the neutral electrical supply" to restore power to the units.

I would just like the ability to, if I chose to do so :)  I'm sure there are many people on this board who have financial freedom, but continue to "work" simply because they enjoy focusing their energy on something they like.  

Biggest issue for me is the time/energy to really analyze enough potential deals or getting to REIA meetings because the closest one is 45 minutes from me. 

Both the kids came with undiagnosed emotional issues that took a lot of time, energy and therapy.

The inspection report came back, and there are a ton of deficiencies( roof in bad shape, pier and beam findings suggesting movement of the property, improper electrical fittings, gas lines not to code, etc).

So how are we supposed to do repairs for a sale when tenants want 24 hours notice and are not cooperating.We have a timeframe to get them done and repairs required need her to make room and move possession.Termite damage and repair, electrical work and install baseboard heaters.Her possessions are blocking all access.

Be sure to compare energy ratings too.

All units separately metered, electric heat for the whole place but the tenants pay so not too bad.Cons: Condition - not great, tenants, not-great.

If it is a legal 2-family with only 2 apartments in it, make sure there are three electric meters (unless you pay for the electric for all apartments)--you need to have a 'common area meter' that the owner pays for, ie hall and exterior lights.After getting an Attorney lined up, and a search done re violations, I would speak directly to the tenants. 

How are expenses paid for by the trust tax deducted, i.e. roof replacement, plumbing and electrical expenses, etc?
