The house was built in 1913, so I'd be very surprised if there were any new settling.

I can share dozens of other stories of various real estate related "surprises" and "adventures" that I have been a part of over the last 13 years as I worked to grow my portfolio from that one duplex to just over 160 rental units today, but I think this post is long enough already!  

I am very surprised by this.

I'm surprised that you can rent out a unit without a stove. 

Susan, what I am learning from you is both surprising and very valuable.

Do a deep dive on the property too, checking it's all clear to sell and there aren't any hidden surprises.

The first time I went there I was surprised how underdeveloped and relatively inexpensive it is.

Hi Jay, that's a great introduction and it seems like you have an excellent background for real estate.I have to say it's surprising, like you said, to see someone focusing on RI vs. other developing markets like OH and FL, but with enough work it's still possible to find something that cash flows here, too.

I would not be surprised due to the subjectivity of the JHA that a PM or landlord would simply forgo doing a criminal background check so they are not found in violation of the Human Rights Ordinance.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's no mother, or she's already dead, or living it up in Palm Springs.
