Or if your gut tells you that your family will be happy in this new location, then follow that instinct!

I am a CT based investor, flipper and property management company owner.  

And I certainly wouldn't have survived it with no investor losses, as I was able to do thanks to having a manageable portfolio at that time.All that is to say that I wouldn't change a thing.

Using 50% rule (expenses excluding P&i is 50% of rent) here are the numbers;1800 (rent) - $900 (expenses) - 1468 (heloc) = negative $568/monthAt your rent point with that size unit, your expenses will ve less than depicted by the 50% rule, so let’s use a likely more accurate 40%1800 - 720 (expenses) - 1468 = negative $388/monthNow let’s imagine you self manage and you time is not worth anything (I strongly recommend believing your time is worth less or worth less than a quality PM would charge) with 8% further reduction so expenses are down to 32%1800 - 576 (expenses) - 1468 = negative $244/month. 

The investor manages the project, and the lender receives a percentage of the profits upon sale. - The property is renovated and sold at a significant profit, and both parties are satisfied. 5.

The current one lasted 8 years and needs to be replaced (as per what our property manager is saying)I heard front loaders could leak, so I typically only do top loaders for rentals.

The utility company doesn't manage your property...they provide paid services until they're not paid anymore. 

My top locations for luxury Oregon Coast Real Estate Investment, estates and ranches are: - Brookings, Gold Beach and Bandon - One of the few stretches beyond Big Sur that you can actually drive along the Pacific Coast Highway at altitude.

I currently work for a property management company also located in the Midwest so please reach out if you have any questions!

That's up to my operatione manager.
