I am venturing into the world of wholesaling, primarily in the Dallas/Fort worth area.

If he's causing you to lose tenants, he is a liability. 

I see some underwriters just get complacent and lose sight of the big picture (if they ever saw it in the first place).

I would hate for you to lose a good deal just because you did not understand foreclosure and redemption.  

I just don't want to lose a tenant and then start construction and then try and perform the repair while attempting to relist.

Im down for joint ventures as well if anyone s interested!

The farthest north I'd want to venture into is Sacramento.  

If they don't support you or what you do you will probably lose.  

IF on the other hand, you lose a tenant at a low activity time of year (e.g. just before Christmas / New Year) and the unit needs some work before it can be re-rented, it is very easy for a fair bit of time to pass.For a multifamily, it is normal / common to have a house meter for the electrical (external lights, hallway lights, etc) and possibly a house gas meter (if there are common areas and depending on how the common areas are heated).

Best of luck in your ventures!
