I normally run very conservative numbers.

The cashflow is very insignificant compared to how much a property's value can be increased by doing some cleaning inside and out, painting, making the yard look nicer, bringing in better quality tenants and normal appreciation.

Then it’s just a matter of putting one foot in front of the other, and setting the pace that’s comfortable for you to make steady progress toward your investing goals.

My parents house has bubbling paint on the ceiling just caused by shower steam, nothing they did to cause it beyond normal use.Latex paint is more likely to bubble due to moisture and you should not use latex paint on doors or cabinets.

Sub it out--and charge for it.It wasn't normal wear and tear, it was damage from table and chairs that left deep marks and had to have drywall fixed and then repainted, forgot to mention.

Normal inspection, just let the inspector know it's 2 units.

With the ZBA, every normal checking deposit we make is swept directly towards our remaining balance, saving us interest cost.

I am concerned the cost of remodeling may be expensive because the existing ceiling height is only 6.5 feet so we would need to lower the floor by at least a foot.

When your looking at the T-12 be careful a lot of sellers will but normal expenses in as capex to make their expenses look better.

I have a 2400 square foot cabin on 250 feet of frontage on a blue ribbon trout stream, that yields around $50K gross per year.
