Not broken but a preference item  code lock?

For one, NOTHING else that is a monster ticket item can go wrong.  

Haven't had to use in a while as most items go on a credit card (with points), and I then pay off monthly...An Equity Line of Credit on a couple of the rentals would work great too.  

We then itemize for damages with normal wear and tear accepted. 

Finding the time to learn how to do a particular task, then apply it, then do it, then buy the items will take a lot longer and the cost!

That’s why fast food has you order by the number rather than individual items; you don’t pay as much attention to the individual order costs – you simply order the #6 for $9.87, oh and would you like to Super-Size that for only $5.00 more?

Require that only 1 item per request be allowed. 

I dont figure in capX as I "float that across the portfolio, and we try to cover big ticket items up front if possible, when doing the rehab. my suggestion is to be careful buying as the market is rising, I have backed off, the deals are harder to find to meet my needs, because buyer competition has picked up. it will cycle, so be patient and only buy Great deals!!! 

So make sure that the terms of the loan are better than what you can get today before committing.One really important item to note is that FHA/VA/USDA loans all require you to live in the property...and that will be a condition to assume the loan.  

I will be carrying these two items with me next time I am out.
