So true...I just got my bill for the last quarter and it was back to normal.

Hi @Karen DiNapoliGood question.In my opinion: it's all about the cash flow, not necessarily about the taxes or the other expenses.So for example, I live in the Philadelphia area and in West Philadelphia the taxes are lower than they would be in the county outside the city where I normally invest.

Working full time and investing in real estate is pretty normal. 

We don’t fill the gap haha we create the “gap” aka normal money to close.

Instead of that, I can keep the property in short-term rental mode in hopes that it helps the area get back to normal sooner.

He is a normal attendee at our meetup.

He said he noticed a few other things and this management company person has a history of not disclosing damage from tenant that exceeds normal wear and tear until I get the key back and the deposit was returned.

Love the awareness of breaking those chains @Jacob Nevarez...it's normal for your parents and relatives to pull you back down because they are worried for you.  

@Alex CapozzoloI’ve learnt it’s really tough to use an accurate cost per square foot number.

Lol, I have a similar story but I got off easy....I had my guys digging footings for a remodel in a little SoCal beach town when we found bones - some good sized ones.
