THat 2/1 is 700k-ish, just now I see 4/2 900k-ish but has basement and unique layout, rent from several rooms can be $3k-$4k here, if mortgage is $4.5 then you actual mortgage is only $0.5-$1.5.

What may be somewhat unique is the retirement account isn’t technically a 401k that I can access whenever I want - it’s private company stock which I can only cash out upon death, termination, or retirement.

No restriction to places with unique laws such as San Jose.There is  abundance of opportunities.  

Great dialogue - we don't get too many lively discussions for the Huntsville area threads - ha ha.So I see a lot of posts in favor of Hazel Green - everyone has their own REI strategy, which is what makes REI a unique adventure for each of us.  

Adding some artwork to help give the place more character - $100-200 on Etsy or Society6 can get you some really unique prints that will help your apartments show well in listing pics and really set them apart from the competition.If you have the space outdoors, the quickest and easiest amenities to add are a fire pit and BBQ grill (or maybe a patio as well, if you're so inclined). 

Quote from @Tom Frost: I have been looking into different training programs for unique investment strategies and the Tax Delinquent Blueprint run by Jason Palliser is an interesting one I've come across.

To me the perfect short term rental property needed to be unique.

:P As an appraiser myself, I would probably charge a very high fee for this assignment, since it is pretty unique and complex.

PM’s like you love to talk about Transparency and integrity but are just the opposite and are more smoke and mirrors than anything worthy.More than likely you haven’t even placed a section 8 tenant in years nevermind appealed, disputed or challenged the section 8 rent that was initially approved in order to get even higher section 8 rent and maximize the rent as we do with many of our properties and those properties we deliver to our clients.I really dont even have anymore time for this with players like you but what I do know is what we are delivering to our clients as well as our section 8 tenants day in and day out, case in by case out, and the one thing we realized a long time ago is that every case is unique and there are always exceptions with the right checks and balances.

My situation is unique because I am in Korea with my family.
