Permitting is painfully slow, even with long cultivated relationships with the county.

As long as it meets "minimum" size standards it can look like a broom closet and be considered a bedroom... ridiculous, but it's out there, and in a tight market people will pay for it... 

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

This is how long-term success is built.

The city’s robust economic growth and steady population influx continue to drive strong rental demand, making it an ideal choice for long-term investment success.Best of luck!

 @Zeona McIntyre how do you feel about the long-term profitability of MTRs?

But I'm getting substantial pushback from family exactly for being on-call like that for so long.

Hello all - Long story but any help would be much appreciated.• I purchased a small 1B/1Ba condominium in a high rise building in 2004 for personal use.• In 2010, I moved out and decided to put in in service as a rental unit.• I was able to keep it well occupied and leased throughout 2024.• I sold the condo unit in late 2024 for a nominal profit.That brings us to today. 

Learning the ins and outs while keeping an eye out for a great deal is a smart approach—knowledge and patience go a long way in this space.

(cost of buy-down in dollars / monthly savings vs the free loan = # of months it would take to recoup the money spent). will you keep the LOAN at least that long?
