Quote from @Judy Parker: IMHO she should not sell the townhouse. why is that?

Hobbies include flying (of course) and frequent Vegas trips to play poker!

Thank you, Judy

You know you are a landlord when you have over 40 phone numbers programmed in your cell phone and only 4 of them are family and friends.You know you are a Landlord when you and your family go for a Sunday drive but it's to check out your properties to see how your tenants are doing.You know you are a landlord when you choose your new boyfriend or husband by his maintenance skills.You know you are a landlord when you watch Judge Judy and the tenants are using the same lines as your own tenants.You know you are a landlord when you visit a family members house and wonder how much rent you could get for it. 

Judy P. please explain why it's risky not to have them on a lease?

while a family takes their time "we need to discuss it this weekend...Joe is concerned about not having room to store his extra motorcycle...Judy doesn't like the color of the drapes, and she would really like a natural gas cooktop and not electric..."

@Judy P., thanks for your response, if you dont mind, I would love to know how it turned out for your listing, assuming that its sold.

Hey Judy, of course consult counsel/tax professionals, my input is that for points, it should be 2.5+ if paid @ closing or 3.5+ if paid at maturity/exit.

Judy, I am not certain why the FD was called, but I will try to find out when I get back to Maryland on Monday.

It's like a poker game -- sometimes you'd rather play lower stakes against tougher competition than higher stakes against weaker competition (okay, that's not true for me, but I imagine for many people it is :-).So, I'm not averse to emerging market bets, but only because they tend to be smaller bets and the worst-case scenario isn't as financially devastating as the worst case scenario in a market like San Francisco, NYC or Boston.Hopefully I explained that in a way that makes sense.
