Austin, TX has been a rocket ship for appreciation but rents lag, making cash flow is tighter. 

When we lit off bottle rockets, they would always singe the carpet.

All of this isn't rocket science, it should be simple, so try and express that to her.

Deadbeats in arrears,Stand high among my fears,I'll trust in my vetting,To keep me from fretting,But it's just a forlorn hope,They always sell soft soap,Sooner or later,Along comes a masturbator,To ruin my day,And show me that, hey,A landlord's life's a joke,Far more than most folk,A parade of liars,If you're lucky no fires,"You're a slumlord," they say,No justice, no way,My soul's bitter and twist,Hands bloody to the wrist,No celebrations, no rockets,Just Bigger Pockets,To share my woes,Get past my lows,Look up from my toes,Tell tales about bozos.

Inside, there’s a lot of plastic, sealing things off and making cleanup easier - but it’s not rocket science.

I'm originally from Everett, WA and enjoy learning and trying new things like real estate, new technologies like blockchain and data science, and anything aerospace like rockets, planes, etc.As far as real estate experience goes, I've worked on a couple of flips in Eastern Washington doing renovations with a couple business partners and it has reminded me of how much I enjoy working with my hands!

My spouse has never lived there.I'm doing a cash out refinance via Rocket Mortgage. 

I would never actually sell the note I'll take my cashflow :).Very early in my sales career about 1980 ish.. and thereabouts when rates sky rocketed to 15 to 20% interest.. we were in the land business. so we owner financed all our parcels.. we routinely wrote 15 to 18% interest rates on seller carry backs..

You don't need an attorney to write it.Before I do anything, I ask myself "Does this involve brain surgery or rocket science?" 

@Jennifer Cheu I think the only time rehab costs may "sky rocket" on an older property is if you are upgrading infrastructure like Knob & tube wiring or heating systems.
