Very hard to make those leak, outside of physical damage.I am aware that the fiberglass units can be re-finished by professionals; not sure if the big box stores carry a kit for that.As Ryan mentioned, these typically develop cracks (physical damage), and will tend to crack once again in the same place unless there is some support from below.

Hello,I am new to the REI community and am looking to build my team.

If you're receiving alimony and child support, some or all of it may be used to help qualify, I'm not certain on this tho.

Overall was a wasted trip so be careful as the agents there do not support their own written "Code of Ethics".

So we're familiar with that entire process, and landlord/ tenant dynamics.My main business is computer technical support, which I've been doing full-time, independently, for the past 9 years.My main goals at this point would probably be to learn enough, make decent contacts, and get started in an appropriate way.

Would your current income support both the mortgage on your home and the new rental property?

In either case you'll need to have income to support both loans at once.

i don't want to get too political, but unfortunately, business is politics...my biggest complaint owning apartments was how the government would support tenants til death and shun the landlords...have had several code violations properties, where i fix everything, but tenants do the damage again, and we go back to environmental court with the code inspector..even when i have pics and proof, it's still an expensive pain lawyering up when the government provides free attorneys to tenants..i guess i don't have it as bad as others...in some states it takes months to evict, and in others if the tenants don't pay the city water bill, the government can lien your property...all this does is put more pressure on landlords and take responsibilty off of tenants..to me, that is a huge pain!

Teaming up with a licensee, and splitting the commission somehow will ensure you don't lose out on this.
