The most compliments I always get on our house is that it's big enough for everyone to spread out and not feel like they're on top of each other.

It just feels like I’ve been making a lot of short term sacrifices for long term gains and I have to be really diligent with money management. or I could also just try to borrow money for the renovation, and pay off the line of credit over time, but I feel like that really would limit me and if the stock market(my collateral) went down I could also see some trouble. 

I feel like rates will come down over the next 6 months or so.Unless you find a screaming deal that you just can't pass up, then bide your time.

Pricing has changed but J Scott's one of the smartest guys around and is one of the books I always feel comfortable recommending.

We have lots of interest and showings, so we feel our rental rate is right at market.

Quote from @Serena Lemmons: Hi All, I have been researching real estate investing for a while and feel like the next step is to meet some investors in the area that I can learn from.

While it can feel like a hassle, these inspections help prevent bigger (and costlier) problems down the line.
