You are very right - the Virtual meeting is open to anyone in DFW, TEXAS or the whole country to take advantage of...this is a very popular subject and you have some very valuable insights into this subject that I think anyone who would like to consider this strategy should avail themselves to!

Take it from me, guys, Andrew is as entertaining as he is knowledgeable ;-)  - this will not be a boring treatise on numbers and stuff that puts you to sleep!  @Andrew Postell has a great way of presenting to bring clarity and he will also answer your questions - we have an interactive format.  

Hope you have a great crowd - it will be time well spent!

    As we all know we are now deep into a seller's market… again! What does that mean to the average or new Real Estate Investor? For many, it means it's easy to sell the deals you find, BUT… it's hard to find motivated seller deals. Good news! There’s BIG opportunity out there, because while the average investor is trying to find motivated sellers, my friend, Zack Childress, has more deals than he can handle because of his secret weapon. Get Registered for this meeting to see how he is doing this!!

    Do you feel like you're pushing a rock up a never-ending hill or like you're on a hamster wheel with no end?

In his Special Thursday Evening presentation, Zack will be covering:

    • The top 5 most motivated seller deals in a sellers’ market.
    • How to have more deals than you can handle with:
      • No Marketing Cost Whatsoever
      • No Putting up Bandit Signs Every Week
      • No Expensive Postcard or Letters Mailings
      • No Expensive Newspaper Ads
      • No Expensive Billboards or Bus Benches

    Then he will show you how you can turn around and flip them fast to your buyer’s list! If that sounds good to you, please register ASAP for this Special Thursday Evening meeting, so you can see how good life is on the other side.

    You will also discover:

Post: Lease addendum on flushing tampons/wet wipes down the toilet?

@Kathleen Sedita
I agree with @Colleen F. & @Kyle J. - Tenant pays for anything "foreign" in the toilet or line.  Even if your lease doesn't have explicit language, I would talk to the tenant and do your best to collect payment for the repair in full or even partial.  Show &/or tell them what the plumber says he discovered.  If they give you too much grief and it's not worth fighting over, make sure they are NOW FOREWARNED.  Then, it's not likely to repeat itself at least.  

It might be good to review any clauses in your lease pertaining to repairs for the future.  

If your lease allows for separate 'rules or guidelines' to be added or amended in the future then all you might need to do for existing tenants is to give them a 30 day notice of changes to be made to the 'Rules & Guidelines' (or whatever you like to or have already named it). 

BTW, besides the toilet getting foreign objects/matter in them, the next common tenant caused problems I encounter is the
garbage disposal - Same advice for it as the toilets.

Maybe this will help going forward!!

Three single fam houses came under our belt for rentals.  Two we were able to add a 4th bedroom for cheap and increase the rent a couple hundred dollars or so to help out the ol' cashflow. 

The most recent one just started it's rehab. Two of the 3 of these have been about 40-50k rehabs. The middle one was less expensive, and the tenant has paid well, and no complaints! I believe we have done the BLRRR on the first two and the 3rd one will be as well. (the L in BRRR stands for creating a lien on the property for purchase money which makes it easier to refi than if just used cash!)

Still looking for more deals if you're a wholesaler in the Fort Worth area.  We also want more smaller multi-family. (2 to say 50? units)


Best of Luck to all!!

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!
