They were honey maple and a little outdated, but in good shape.

Had this outdated sun room type thing on the back, it had a good roof on it.

Basically it's a system to which your guests and service providers can be automatically emailed based on check in/out dates.

From old sewer lines, to water coming through the masonry, to outdated electrical, it seems scary for an investor.Other points of concern include pest control since many of the townhomes are connected.From an outsider perspective it looks like property tax isn’t as suffocating as a city like Chicago and tons of areas are gentrifying so fast.Has anyone considered condo investing in Philly so at least that way you’re not wholly responsible for building/exterior maintenance?

I believe the course ultimately sped up my understanding while also provided more up to date information ( a lot of older books are a little outdated on the financing end). 

I.e New roof Central ac for two unitsNew kitchen and bath both units New electrical (old outdated)Front and rear porches need to be redoneNew plumbing (frozen pipes) house wasn’t winterized New drywall Can reuse most of the windows just new screens Security system and cameras New lightning (flush lighting) New roof on the garage and garage doors (possibly insulate) for winter time want to add a 1/2 bath to the first floors of each unit (More rental appeal 3bd 1bth vs 3bd 1.5 bath) Siding And paint Had ideas since it’ll be home of doing spray insulting to the attic  (livable space)  (save on heating and cooling cost long term)  So as you are networking get referrals for as many contractors as you can.

You can give them notice as soon as you want, but just make that notice effective on the tenant's move out date. 

Many of his videos were outdated, especially the bonuses but that didn't matter much.

Let me quote what I said earlier in this thread: I have no issue with paying for information...here's what I have issues with: - Paying more than the information is worth - Someone giving me information who isn't qualified to give me information - Someone who is interested in giving me just enough information to coax me into giving them more money for more information - Someone who will happily give me information in return for a fee, and then on top of that require me to give them a percentage of my profits in addition - Getting information that is outdated and ultimately causes me to spend MORE time learning than if I hadn't gotten the information - Someone who will take money from a student who clearly doesn't have the ability, intelligence, drive and/or resources to be successful I've done the math, and based on my numbers, a great real estate investor can make a lot more money than a great educator who is charging reasonable fees for the education.

So, after seven years of reading outdated books I finally said screw it.
