. :) I’ve been around BP for a while, and financial side is a weak point of mine, particularly loans or raising money thereof.

another reason to move to a service like cozy.co for rent collection; both sides can see/print/etc rental payment historyOtherwise, like others noted, it should take under 3 minutes to type/sign/send via email a receipt. 

So if you raise rents by $100/month on an 8-cap commercial building, you have now directly forced appreciation by (100*12)/.08 = $15,000, whereas on a residential, it depends a lot on what your neighbors last sold their properties for.Of course, nothing ever works out that precisely in the real world, as caps also fluctuate, but caps are not as volatile as comps.

It would likely be a hassle scanning all of your receipts and records to an online service, if you can find one.

For cleaning and painting, I use Brandy Randall with All Services Cleaning.

I have already used up my "trial" look ups and am at the point that I would need to subscribe in order to continue using the service, so I am trying to justify if it is worth the cost.  

Do you bill the client (me), or do you allow for rollover if you continue to be engaged for the service until consummation?

Friends, I am foreign service, not military, but a quick shout out to my DOD brethren - especially those with whom I had a chance to work so closely during SG17 this summer!

John T. from @brandon hall, his BARRRR strategy suggests that you should advertise the rental before purchasing so that the property is considered ready and available for rent, ie in service, to take deductions rather than having to cap and depreciate then.

Most lenders have a 2 year minimum seasoning on BKs.Honestly, IMO, his best bet is to contact the lender (NOT the servicer, but the LENDER), and throw himself at their mercy for a loan modification.
