My solutions 1. find a backup, do proactive maintenance and make the tenants aware you are human and what is an emergency, make leases end mostly in spring/summer.  2. have multiple vendors, be persistent, pay promptly, and treat vendors nice.

Mortgages are also stress tested meaning when they check to see how much you qualify for, they run the numbers at higher rate (I think it is prime plus 2%). 

I have a property under contract and a realtor wants to go under contract for it, with one of her clients.       He wants a 14 day inspection period, which the sellers are okay with.   My question is, how does it work...

It might also be worth bringing in a portfolio lending expert to stress-test the long-term debt structure and how it impacts future liquidity.If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to take a look at the big picture with you, or at least share what’s worked for me in terms of minimizing risk and maximizing flexibility on a growing portfolio.Congrats again on getting this far—pulling off something like this shows you’re already playing at a high level.Hey ArmanI would greatly appreciate your help and have you look at this, please, and thank you for your words, and hopefully, I've done well with it.

The cellular option is cool for exactly that reason... avoiding dependency on tenant internet.Might be worth a demo or test unit to compare signal strength / reliability between the two systems. 

Would you consider furnishing 1 room for MTR as a test for your market?

I don't own any properties with asbestos siding and I have my concerns, so I hired an asbestos professional to go check it out, grab some samples and conduct testing.Still waiting to hear back from the Asbestos testing but I wanted to know if anyone here has experience, knowledge and or own any properties with asbestos siding?

So everyone using it to cheat on a test, are cheating themselves. 

I knew these tests are practically useless but wanted to do a first test anyways.I then contacted a mold testing company who gave me a quote to test 4 samples in the apartment plus one exterior sample as a baseline for $650. 

They will be requesting from the county to conduct a dye test on the downspout to check if that is the case.Does anyone have experince with this situation and how this can go about?
