Over-budgeting is always something to avoid, but I tend to err on the conservative side. 

Any feedback would be helpful, I really would like to hear some of your experiences with the area, finding tenants, you like or that should finding properties, evictions, things you love about the area, things you maybe don't love about the area, neighborhoods be avoided, really anything.

Also include some sort of reply "STOP" to prevent all future texts and make sure you remove those numbers to avoid any possible charges for contacting someone on a do not call list.But that first deal better be awesome, It's true what they say about you only get one chance to make a first impression.

Avoiding rent is the same as income.

Here are the things you should look for and avoid with any turn key company. * Don't allow financing or a finance contingency (it can be a good indication they are selling above market value)* Don't allow for your own independent property inspection* Are not realistic with their pro forma's (i.e. they don't include vacancy or maintenance projections or use      unrealistically low vacancy factors)* Require you to pay for any renovation upfront* Sell only in cheap. low end neighborhoods* Don't accurately represent the neighborhood/property classification* Don't have consistent rehab standards for all properties* Don't provide a scope of work for the property* Can't provide references of repeat investors* Require you to close before a tenant is in place

If you want to avoid some of this work, go to local REA meetings and talk to other investors (something you should do regardless).

Next time, avoid properties without access to your own equipment and utilities. 

More available units would leave owners scrambling to avoid vacancy and forcing the market to support marginalized groups. 

The benefit with that is there is no PMI and you avoid the 1.75% upfront PMI that gets rolled into your loan at closing. 

I own the land outright so my question is, could I put my land against my mortgage for the buildings and avoid putting another 20% into this or is that wishful thinking?
