Then if you're foolish enough to improve the outside of your rental building the assessment will be raised.We have a refugee couple that I helped get employment.

We have 5 acres & our new refugee tenants asked if they could rebuild the coop down by the barn 1000 ft from the old converted 6 unit farmhouse. 

I’m now a ‘refugee’.  

I am actually moving from Seattle back to Atlanta to take advantage of all the Cali and New York cost of living refugees to get my multifamily portfolio up and running. for the price of a single 2 bedroom house here in Seattle, i can by a 4 plex in east atlanta.

Giving up is not in our nature... we were all immigrants and refugees coming to this country with nothing, so we have a history of perseverance :-)Account Closed After that project, we decided to not GC projects ourselves anymore. 

Diversify the risk of non-payment over more units, set aside some units for crisis housing, some for transitional use for refugees, some for pregnancy crisis use - the list is only limited by our imagination.That kind of building could certainly address the things you've brought up - and a very good property management company would be mandatory.  

From what I've seen some of the new players are fix 'n flip refugees who are looking to buy the home at a large discount since they can't find decent yield in their traditional venues like REO purchases and FC auctions.

Of course your brother or whoever can live there with you - one of my clients closed right before the Ghost Ship tragedy, and had a basement packed with refugees a week later!

Talking about ethnicity, the six people I just rented the house to is Iranian, refugees who arrived in the country about eight years ago. 

I remember hearing a story about Vietnamese refugees opened up their first restaurant and sleep on the floor when restaurant is closed. they use the money made to open two more restaurants and still sleeping on the floor!
