For example, you could give her little tasks that she enjoys before she takes on a greater role.Best of luck!

I feel that my formal education has helped me in many ways such as understanding how to read and analyze financial statements, performing cash flow projections, and understanding metrics that affect risk and returns.

First, see Sch-C vs Sch-E.Second, the appraisal is not performed based upon EITHER schedule.However, the GSI-Expense = projected NOI, times 0.37 is actual NOI and that has to cover the mortgage+interest, insurance and taxes.The high vacancy rate (1.00 - 0.37 = 0.63) is a killer and usually, you would take such a loss ONLY because you would be year long resident AND love the life style - - aka it's typically a bad 'investment' and you're making this choice for OTHER than financial gain.

Don't baby sit and set the bar where you EXPECT the tenants to perform. 

In those instances, your new floor will usually not perform well over time because it doesn't have a good base.

I've come to the conclusion that 'wholesalers' should always be ready, willing, and able to perform on the terms of the contract.

I use a full time VA for these tasks. it costs me about $100/week

Love to see some actual numbers on how your property performed vs what they told you it would do...
