It's largely driven by their laws surrounding foreign ownership which created a completely artificial market for off the plans and new apartments at inflated rates. 

I’m a mechanic and i’m also a medic in the national guard, haven’t started investing yet but i’d like to find a duplex or preferably a triplex in the spring.

As you know, the USC Keck school of medicine is less than a mile down the street from Lincoln Park off N Mission Road.

Therefore, I go in with high up front dollars for two reasons: it knocks out of the race people who have to finance and it also artificially makes me cash flow positive.

Outlets have to be moved and I didn't think of that when originally estimating.2) I decided to go with more expensive light fixtures in the bathrooms than originally planned, but they will look nicer.3) I'm going to upgrade the 1970 medicine cabinet in the lower bathroom to a nice framed mirror.4) I'm putting in new bath fans in both bathrooms. 

I prefer to deal with financial economics and not artificial definitions that accounting boards construct.

Not artificially impoverish themselves in order to climb onto the medicaid gravy train.

- Clear fridge of all magnets- Clear all kitchen and bathroom counters (you really don't want your toothbrush out for pictures)- Remove pet bowls, toys, and beds before showing - Store kid's toys - keep a laundry basket of toys that can quickly be put in car when you leave house (works great for toddlers)- take out the trash- Do not leave 14 bottles of soaps and stuff in bathtub-Store gun cabinet so people do not remember your house as the house with guns- People look in medicine cabinets - don't leave meds that may leave an impression in view- Organize pots and pans - store the bunt, angle food cake pans, waffle iron, fryer and other large items not used often to clear out room- Clean Clean Clean (especially light switches, door knobs and other areas that hands are always on

Use that to your advantage, tell them how they don't have to worry about guest using their bathroom and going through their medicine cabinet.

And in medicine fellowships are paid positions, not positions that you take loans out for.
