Yeah, but, forget any notion of trying to get 90% LTV.

They have some notion that you cant recognize the smell too...

Equally fallacious is the notion that class A and B areas will always appreciate.

I have done this for at least the past 5 years, and it is amazing how much it helps the mental psyche to avoid a) rushing anywhere, b) running errands, and c) moving at 65 MPH.

The notion that others are not getting a C of O means that they are leaving themselves open to massive lawsuit and loss of revenue.That said, renting an accessory dwelling unit in DC - in the long term - should provide you with a return on your investment, if you separate the electrical and gas.

And I might not lead with the notion of her only having 10 years remaining...she is likely pretty attached to them :)

Because you guys say its all about finding the best deals, the notion that you cannot predict the market doesn't make sense to me.

There are alot of people here who shutter at the notion of holding a property that breaks even, or takes a loss each month, but that is because their investing goals are different.Not that I am suggesting you do this, but just for the sake of example, let's say you had 10 properties that all broke even and brought in $1,500 per month in rent. 

There's preconceived notion that something can go very wrong, but in reality the worst anyone can really say is 'no'.

For one, billionaires buy life insurance, so the notion that you won't need it one day is simply not true.
