I sat out for a while and kind of strayed a bit from real estate these last 4 years but am now ready to jump back in.

Early on youll about have to stand there at the ready to empty them(if not connected to a drain that is.)Workin on shtupf from my recliner sure is easy!

Is it wiser to ride out the 30 years... or should I double-pay and be ready to make more profits in the 15years?

Two unit houses can be had for 40-60k which can be rent ready or need some type of repair.

If there is property in the estate it is a long time from the obituary until an estate is opened and then a long time until the estate is ready to sell.

However, I do have extensive knowledge in apartment management, leasing, make-ready and dealing with tenant issues.

The mortgage industry is full of organizations, like the American Banker's Association that has educational programs for members. hen, there are the alphabet soup agencies like the OCC, FDIC, CFPB and HUD that provide public consumables to enlighten anyone willing to look things up.

Some are being marketed as turnkey ready to move in and collect checks, I know that's BS to begin with but after running numbers they are losing 150-200/month at their list price...

I always advise owners and managers to consult with an attorney who specializes in premises liability and landlord-tenant law.If you keep the tub, you should have specific clauses written into the rental agreement as an addendum.You absolutely must provide the tenant an owner's manual because the first five or six pages are full of all the legal warnings that keep the tub manufacturer out of lawsuits (Consult a physician before use, Don't consume alcohol, Don't use alone, No unsupervised children, etc.)Bottom line: If it needs work, have it done by a licensed, bonded and insured electrician and/or spa technician.
