. ;) So it's actually a great idea to keep an eye on this metric as its often used as a benchmark for the health of the SFH market. 

I'm having a real moral dilemma here.  

Also you will hopefully have the safety net of health insurance provided by your job.- Work, save, INVEST!

The dilemma is the long term tenant's lease is not up until the end of the year, and I'm positive the roaches will not be rid of until the tenant is gone.  

Can anyone advise as to the health of the rental market(s), as well as recommend a great investor-knowledgeable realtor?  

Thank you & Blessings for Health & Prosperity !

Additionally I like to evaluate the financial health, capital reserves, and property condition of the association to try to understand whether a large assessment is looming.  

My dilemma, if it is one, is this: should i be down about it not being a cashflowing-rent-free living experience?

My dilemma is that I want to have access to mls and properties but I don’t think it would make financial sense to have to pay broker fees if I am only buying 1 or 2 houses per year for now.

Would this be beneficial for the family regarding estate taxes (FIL is in very good health and not foreseen to have many health issues in the next decide)We welcome your thoughts and ideas on how we can make the most of this situation and arrangement.
