Rental assesment

[Gary M.]

I have had a sf since 2008 and I haven't really been treating it like an investment. Having read articles and listening to podcasts here on BP I realize that I am not getting the most of this investment.

I am going to reevaluate my insurance premium and needs.

I hear a lot about property taxes but, is there any thing that I can do to lower them, or is it just part of the equation that we shouldn't overlook?

Right now it's financed with an ARM. What are the pros and cons to this?

I'd like to hear your opinions on these matters and any other suggestions.

Thanks Gary
