I had the hot water heater gas regulator go out on me ($100 item off Amazon), the Furnace died ($846), and there was a gas leak on the side yard (city's responsibility luckily).

I have seen some potential properties, however most of them would need some form of repair ranging from installing new flooring to repairing water damage and potentially more.I'm wondering how a recession will impact construction costs?

Thus far I am considering displaying the additional tax base that will come from that verse a SFH, additional power used from a duplex (ie city gets a portion of all electrical bills in city), additional water and sewer revenues, and the big one that it helps the affordable housing crisis. 

Hello, I'm seeking recommendations for great contractors who service Little Village, Chicago 60623 to assist with the following needs:- roofers for a pitched roof- replace floorboards in attic- fix ceiling with water damage- minor wall repair and painting- tuck pointing- junk removal- a reliable handyman!

If you ruin your personal credit and don't have cash, you're dead in the water.

The 20% for downpayment just muddies the waters.

I did whatever it took to stay above water.

Tax's super low here No state income and cap ex super low.  10 to 15 year old houses this one had new condenser water heater Stucco house Tile roof Desert landscape.. bullit proof..

Eventually, when the cash flow from the rental properties is enough to replace my day job, I'd like to transition to managing my properties as my primary job.I'm trying to test the waters to see if this makes sense from a business/tax perspective. 

It has a great water view of a nice pond with a private dock.
