The last owner of my property did weird stuff like pout rainbow floodlights in the basement. these are big and get pretty hot fast so i bet they're very costly to run. im going to replace those with energy efficient LED lights. i figure if i can optimize where utilities are wasted and keep the bills down then rent will be on time.

Woops, just noticed I pout the property is 2 bed 1.5 bath, its actually a 3 bed 1.5 bath which is what made me more confident about the ARV

There is a little mold we have to tackle in the basement and asbestos around a couple of the furnace vents in the basement (scared the cr*p out of me when I first learned that) The inspector who has been working on homes and doing inspections for 40+ years said we can seal that asbestos and it won't be a problem.

You may just have a rat slab and just need to have it pouted better, is what it sounds like. 

Better watch out, better not cry, better not pout im tellin' you why....Obama Clause is coming to town...with his ol' jolly elf Pelosi.

Hi Nathan, The inspector fail to comply by his and you r agreement, this is totally unacceptable, he is not allowed legally or professionally to share the inspection with others or agent with pout your authorizing it, I will get with an attorney and discuss this issue, also chek his training and affiliation with ASHI or InterNASHI and you can file a complaint.

If your numbers make sense and you can grab that deal, you better get on it or someone is going to reach their goals while you pout!

I do recognize you are also lowering your payment which increases your cash flow but that comes with a price (basically the loan duration greatly increases the total interest you will pay).Now lets stay that you put the $17K in the S&P500 and that the S&P out produces your interest rate by 5% (so total of 9.5% which is really close to lifetime S&P500 return), it will take over 4 years to pay off the $4K, but it it worse than that because the $4K is paid up front (you return is in inflation adjusted dollars).I understand the cash flow and I understand that in the long term you should find it easy to out perform the 4.5% interest. 

Process isstill ongoing , as I had pout off some minor cosmetic work ( outsidebrick and painting ) to focus on new apartment , but city will notissue a clean complete COA until all the deficiencies on maininspection re taken care .
