No new arrivals.

I could make a case that yes some of the new construction stuff is overpriced that will come down but with regards to anything else besides that there is no market crash in general that's going to happen.

Beyond that been thinking about rolling into a self directed IRA and doing some syndication stuff. 

We've got a group of students in one, a young couple who just moved to the area and doesn't want to buy yet in another, and a professional in the third who's opening up a new branch of his company here.I think proximity to the cool stuff of a city is almost more important than trying to tailor your location to a specific group.

Houses are complex systems where lots of stuff can go wrong and there are lots of opportunities for improvement. 

They are unprofessional and irresponsible, this stuff impacts us as landlords and has real-world consequences.

@Michelle Murtha - I think you will see some stuff start to really move pretty soon on BP, and in a way that you will like! 

If I had known how much I would enjoy sailing/cruising I think I would have sold all my stuff and my house and bought a newer, bigger boat ;).

If the HELOC amount you're requesting is relatively low (often below $100,000), lenders might waive the full appraisal.Drive-By Appraisal : Instead of a full interior inspection, a drive-by appraisal involves the appraiser evaluating the exterior of the property only.Desktop Appraisal : This type of appraisal is conducted remotely using data and photos provided by the homeowner or real estate agents.Based on the little knowledge that I have about stuff like this it sounds like you need to connect with existing lenders in your network or find new lenders in your network that have programs aligned with your goals.

But given that the renovation was done such a long time ago, there are some wear and tear, like Window and HVAC, shower handle and stuff, so we have been updating those one thing at a time, and I'm hoping that this house can handle another 20 year so the $ we poured in for the new set of windows are worth it...Would appreciate any thoughts!
