But I would think than that the best insurance against this is to buy in neighborhoods where its unlikely to to turn "rental"but that being said it'll probably be in "A" neighborhoods where its harder to get deals.Also in your experience multi-fam's (even in good neighborhoods) don't appreciate well?

The beauty to have a bigger house is - it is appreciating better, you could take financing against it if you need to to buy more rentals and in the worst scenario you could rent out rooms for students :))) or develop bed and breakfast business :))) congrats on your first house !

However, Don't be afraid to to tell the lenders you are comparing other leaders.

Depending on what your rate currently is on your primary it may not make sense to to a refi.

Honestly, I'm not sure how much longer my wife and I will be here (looks like my job might be taking me away), so I'm not sure how much actual investing (if any) we are going to to get to do here, but one of the big problems we have been running into is the inflated market.  

Hello to ALL:I decided to to refinance my condo in order to lower my payments, drop Mortgage Insurance and lower my APR (currently 4.75%).

I consider "subject to" to be very predatory.A buyer is taking the only asset the seller has "the house"While still leaving the seller with all of the liability.

I also have scheduled many of the viewings on the same day so that I can show the property after work.What do you guys to to try to cut down on no-shows? 

I was able to  to get a rent amount of $1650 and a tenant the plans on staying in the home at least three years because they don't want to move their three children.  

Can anyone please take time to to educate me and enlighten me on this??!
