Hi Mike,I'm a Los Angeles area based mortgage broker that can assist.

Even though the interest rates are high, it’s a great tool for people who don’t have all the cash to do a fix-and-flip. 

If you already have low respect due to a pre-determined mindset, it's hard to approach the community with an even or reasonable keel.

Even if it was 8 hours a week that is pretty crazy.

It’s great to hear you stuck to your plan and still came out ahead, even with a few bumps along the way.

<g> If she is very determined not to have the central heat on she can turn off the service switch at the unit or even turn off the circuit breaker to it.

The airfare, though, is usually 100% deductible even if you mix business with some pleasure.

Sometimes even calling them as soon as I saw the inquiry.

You got a screaming bargain that was so good that no one else wanted it from the provider side, even for free.

If you are able to manage it yourself, I think you will get a lot of very helpful education in real estate by spending a least a year or two doing that.You'll be able to work with property managers a lot better if you've done the work yourself for a bit, and it also helps to get familiar with the various laws and regulations you have to comply with as the owner, even if you do have a property manager in place (e.g., the new RI rental registry and associated lead paint inspections/certificates).It's up to you whether you're able to do it, but I think you'll get a lot out of the experience if you can try it for a year or two.
