Setting that aside, my answer to the question of putting more down to get a lower rate is - how long will it take me to recoup that extra down-payment from the lower monthly payment?

If you absolutely have to replace the windows anyways, then maybe its worth it to pay extra for the impact windows. 

There is not much else they can do here other than driving by it everyday, which I doubt 1) they include that in your agreement or; 2) you would pay an extra fee for them to do it. -- This happens in many homes around the country whether they are managed or not, whether they are for rent or not, whether they are for sale or not. 2) Damages: "I had to cover the rehab costs myself due to winter conditions and the risk of frozen pipes."

You can charge extra for a garage space, bedroom with its own bath and any other little extras you can think of.

An LLC mainly protects your assets—it doesn’t give you extra tax benefits.

Helps with your debt to income, better opportunities at cash flow, and typically requires less down to purchase.In regards to challenges, I usually build in an extra 10-15% to deal with things that I can't see behind the walls, including dry rot, electrical or plumbing issues, etc.

I'm thinking of one experience where a hospital with lots of extra free parking was close to my stay.

One extra scroll with the mouse pad and there's the mortgage, still public and available to view.

Congrats on getting so close to moving in your first tenant that’s such an exciting milestone You’re right Maryland law doesn’t require you to put up window coverings but from experience it’s usually worth doing Tenants almost always want that extra bit of privacy and if you don’t provide it they’ll often put something up themselves which can mean nails tape or other things that end up damaging your walls or trim A simple clean set of blinds in the living room will still let in all that great light when they’re open and it saves you potential hassle later
