I've been kicking about organizing a meetup here in the beautiful Napa Valley, and have decided that I should just go for it.

I kept the hardwood floors because when I rehabbed I found them under the carpet and hated to cover them up again when they looked so beautiful! 

The area is beautiful and I really liked the potential for investing in that area.

This location is PRIME & safe, it's a 10min walk to downtown Durham, a 1min walk to their Physician's Assistant School, across from a beautiful park, on the same street as a bus stop which helps students/guests without cars, has a HUGE backyard, it's the most expensive zipcode in Durham, the surrounding homes are all well maintained, it's a historic neighborhood, there are townhomes being built a block down starting at $650k and more being built two blocks away starting at $800k.

Its a beautiful town home and I had to rent it.

The only time it would make sense is if speed is a factor - meaning you can get an amazing deal on the property but must close super quickly - something most banks simply cannot do.
