If that REI bug bites you :)3) On this one I would ask the banker.

Maybe I should just bug @Brandon Turner about how his is going...

The fact that each unit pays its own electricity.

Before you spend hundreds, I would buy some food grade diatomaceous earth and apply it to the entire unit - bed frames, mattresses, furniture, floors, electrical outlets, and anywhere else the bed bugs will nest (need to reapply for a few weeks).

The man next door is also the person who is supplying this shed with electricity via an extension cord.So now here I sit waiting for my court date for an ejectment since we were never in a landlord/tenant situation.

The first unit is currently rented to an older man who works for the electric company n is said to pay hes rent on time every month.

My name's Josh McNicoll and I'm the first in my family to have not only been bitten by the real estate investing bug but also to have done something about it--my wife and I purchased our first (and so far, only) rental property here in Seoul, South Korea about 5 years ago.

Electrical, Plumbing, Asbestos... any of them could completely wipe out his profit.
