During closing, we discovered a few issues — the HVAC and some piping needed repair, and several GFCI outlets had to be replaced.

I discovered BiggerPockets through Spotify.I already own a single-family property in Hampton, VA, purchased using a VA Home Loan, but I'm new to real estate investing and unsure how to leverage this property to grow my wealth.

Could be anything —• A screening question you added• A maintenance workflow that saved you headaches• A tool/software feature you discovered• Something you implemented with tenants that reduced calls• Or even just something simple that improved your sanity 😅I’ll start: For me, adding a required “hold fee” for out-of-state applicants dramatically cut down on last-minute drop-offs.

If you absolutely want that unit vacant, then just add "both units vacant at COE" and leave it to the LL to determine how/when/if he does that.

Here is a different perspective.My value add criteria is the value added is double the cost of the value added and value added has to be at least $50k.If his values are correct he is in for $260k for $60k over costs so over $60k of value added (without knowing LL numbers, we do not know how much value was added, but we know it was over $60k.  

Guests staying more than 30 days are likely going to cook at least some of their meals, and nothing ruins a stay faster than opening up the cupboard to discover worn, dingy, and damaged cookware.Best practice: Buy a new, inexpensive yet COMPLETE set of cookware, containing at least a frying pan, a covered skillet and two sauce pans.

If they do walk away without paying donw some closing costs,  the next person will know all what I have discovered.

I think we are just going to break even on this deal because of the foundation and termite damage issues we discovered later.
