If you lie to the lady in the lobby and tell her the pop machine ate 50 cents, that won't fall under this jurisdictio That's why I said, keep your mouth shut!

If you follow everything to a tee you are going to spend every second of your time working on SEO.  

Also if you sell and then buy a new home to live in I believe this is unlikely to get you more money for a REI than a refinance because the new purchase will not have rent used in the loan calculations (because you will not be getting rent but will be living there), the payments will be higher because of the increased property taxes and seeing you would be reducing your equity you would once again be stuck with PMI (note ate 75%LTV and 80% LTV there is no need for PMI) and there could be tax consequences if you do plan to buy a less expensive home (do you want to downsize your home?).

I once ate lunch at the Flagstop Cafe in Boerne, TX.

Sure, we get phone calls ate 3 in the morning because a kitchen light blew out, but that is very rare and even though I get a little angry it is still a nice feeling to know that my tenants have the ability to resolve problems when they get no satisfaction from managers.My wife and I carry separate cell phones for our tenants to call us.To manage our properties, our lease agreement is 24 pages that consists of all our rent payment and eviction policies.

It pretty much ate up my social live with the full time job every spring.  

You also need to do an inspection - I had a couple of board horses on my farm and they destroyed my stalls (ate the boards and tore up fences).  

I retract some of my previous feedback for a unit in OB. 1) It will cash flow as a STR at least until regulations restrict them. 2) OB has already turned from the OB of 10 years ago but for what it offers is still a bargain.I ate at Hodads 2 weeks ago and walked the peer.

So I bumped the asking price down to the cap rate of that area 7.8% and got a price of $301,538 and made an offer at $300,000.That puts my new price of $300,000, expenses ate 50% ($24,000), vacancies ($5,280), and mortgage ($18,649).

The details and timelines ate important, include everything you know.
