You also had at least 3 blinds to replace at the 3 bed place.Again some of the stuff from the second place should have been billed to the tenant (ie reattach thermostat, missing blinds, etc).If you want to have the ability to do the repairs yourself, then talk to your PM; but you need to do them quickly to make sure the place can be ready for the next tenant.

I am going to talk to my PM about it to see if and how it was done, so if you would like to be included in the conversation or I can let you know, would love to have you there to see how it is done

Good luck Thanks Dan  Yes  we are not selling for the reasons you mentioned and yes we are talking 7 figures of appreciation .

We have talked about things such as rent by the room and acknowledge that the operating model will likely be very different while living in the property vs. when we move out.I think the point you made about assumable loans is very helpful to get into a property you might not otherwise be able to afford.

But at the price point you're talking about it seems like a Class D rental.

Really just a place and a time for like-minded people to get together and talk about their passion for or interest in real estate investing.

@Alan Robert Litz Yep I’m planning to live in the property, I’ve already been pre approved and talked with 2 lenders.

I'm talking about INTEREST calculations. 

Talking about poor children and the such is just designed to make me feel bad.

I talked to a modular home company in my area, and he said to build a 4 / 2.5 2200 square foot home would be 215k, and then foundation and utilities would be another 160k.
