It feels more liberating.  

Well, it's more of an art than a science, but more or less: the ARV is what a similarly rehabbed house of the same approximate size, geographic location, and amenities would sell for/has sold for.

Hello @Nicholas HariprasadThe art of finding deals does take some time.  

My name is Josh, and I am an art director in advertising.

Thus the assurance of leveraging salaries into assets, living in cheaper cities without an arts market and generally having no money to think creatively with have gotten in my way.

Searching and examining title is as much an art as a science and should only be done by those experienced in it and willing and able to absorb the loss if a mistake is made. 

On the renting front: I live in Franklinton (west of downtown Columbus, and not in the "arts district," read that as "on the wrong side of 315").

Because if a person has their rent subsidized by the government here in the ultra-liberal tenant friendly bay area, the tenant is NOT subject to rent control.

I've had numerous discussions with the management at my company prior to my move, and should have no problem with receiving a 36 month attestation for remote work@Art Morgan appreciate the help!

I am working with a BP investor who has worked with @Art Shalomov for 5 SFH purchases this summer alone.
