Plus it would have to be a banger of a property for me to have that kind of confidence in it going the distance through all the market cycles, regulation changes, OTA market shifts etc at which point I may as well buy it.Which circles back to my original point- if I am not owning and benefiting from the appreciation, why should I absorb so much risk and upfront capital if instead I can find an underperforming property with potential, take a guaranteed return off the top and invest almost no money on my side?

For the windows, if they are all original to the house and some of them are having issues I would just replace them all.

They are for adding value and helping other people.This is everything that this original post is about, but Cincinnati.

I have owned this property for almost 10 years and originally purchased with cash and of course work has been done over the years. ceramic tile in bath and kitchen, laminate wood in the rest of the rooms, cabinets and countertops, sinks in bath and kitchen, new tubs and toilet etc.. located in st louis its a 2/1 but will rehab to make 3/2 so we will be adding value to the property and will be using the rest for capital for the company as i have other deals I am looking at...

The county recorder puts it of record but the original doc is sent back to you..
