Needless to say, found a few leaks that needed to be repaired.

Recently I was thinking if it would make sense to find listed properties that need less work (specifically in the kitchen/bathrooms) and not necessarily meant for investors.

Needless to say, I’m a firm believer in contributing as much as you can as early as possible to see that money compound every several years.That being said, my roommate and I are “on the clock” with our investment plans.

Also realize, you get a tax deduction for any interest you pay, making your Real cost of the interest 25-35% less.With a zero % interest loan there is NO benefit to making extra principle payments....you’re needlessly paying back money that has zero cost, saving you nothing.

Needless to say, I left a very condemning review for their group and they are not welcome back.Hope you don't ever have an issue like that!

I have also rented from an Owner who was living abroad in Australia for almost 5yrs, however I had personally met with them when going to visit the property and we agreed then an there,  They had never utilized the program before and in fact had only ever rented as a Corporate short term property,  Needless to say, I stayed there for 5yrs until they sold the home...

Is that needlessly conservative, or the right approach?

Plumbing issues (upon further inspection... caused by hair extensions and 'do rags flushed down the toilet).A busted clothes dryer (I swear they tried to dry a stack of bricks in there).Anyway... needless to say, that particular property has been a money loser for us.We're now on our 3rd tenant and hopefully, it'll be drama free and we can start going cash flow positive.If we can right the ship, it'll be paid off in about 4-5 years and then we should see some great cash flow (fingers crossed).So what does this have to do with you?

Needless to say, I would just take a half hour to make some calls and speak to some Insurance Agents. 

We need less snakes, regardless of if they smile and seem like great people.
