I got a sweet deal and did a re-fi to pay him off about 2 months ago.

The neighborhood is not the best, but there are far worse.Your best bet (Which you are already doing) is to continue talking to locals in that area, maybe other BP'ers or at investor meet ups etc..When I bought my property last year there are several others in the surrounding area within the same price point, now I am having a hard time finding the sweet spot of cost to value ratio.

***HOPS OFF SOAPBOX*** Sorry for writing a novel my intentions were to be short and sweet and somehow it went disastrously wrong lol.

The question is which tasks and to whom.If we increase our portfolio to hit that sweet spot of enough units to cover the costs of either on-site management or the services of a PM company, will we still find joy in owning and managing residential rental property?

I am not going to type what I think of this.The BestMeeting Nina, the 94 year old woman next door who still drives to the store herself and is very sweetly Texas strong willed who came over to thank me for cleaning up "That mess"Up Next weekLast of the demoDumpster gets filledFramers / FramingElectrical workRough plumbing Earthwork with a Bobcat to protect the house better next time we get a 12" dump and solve the ground water penetration issues.

Short and sweet and totally resonates with me.  

That could make a sweet development project. 

Short and sweet and 99% of the time thats all it takes.As far as refinancing goes, you will need to wait at least 6 months to age the deed in your name.

I just had a call at my workplace and after a long conversation with this sweet lady she told me she has 3 properties and there's 1 that she need to sell ASAP.

Sweet!
