It works both ways.If you had a bad experience with contractors, well it was probably your own fault by not being upfront with scope of work, payment terms, how change orders are handled, or trying to use the absolute cheapest price you could to maximize your profit.agree to disagree. i have dealt with contractors of all varieties (big companies, small individuals, licensed, not licensed, expensive, cheap, know it alls, wants me teach them how to do things) and only a couple universal truths have emerged in that time. 1. the construction materials are identical between all of them 2. they all need constant babysitting or something will be done in an inappropriate manner.

., and I don't know, so I'll take a look to see.I still don't get how an identical property next door that's fully occupied keeps getting $14 bills.

The goal is to have leads identical to this one x5 EVERY month.

The identical house across the street is now under contract with an asking price 7-8% higher than what we paid. 

Appreciation is nice but you get the identical appreciation regardless of whether it is 100% financed or 100% owned.The smart investment would be to pull the money and purchase X more cash flow property with 20% down on each.

That includes independent verification of market value, projected rents, neighborhood quality, and property condition before you close the deal.

A layer of anonymity between my family and the tenants.This is not about hiding my identity, I realize that anyone can look at the public property records.

If the identity of the poster is known (many places allow anonymous posting or “fake” accounts) the individual can be held accountable, but the site on which the post was made is not a party in the process.

Mine is not identical but similar but I see the merits of both and I think it's lost on a lot of people.Matt

The information is used to prepare employee paychecks during the year and W-2 forms at the end of the year.Landlord's don't pay income - - then need verification of income(s).
