Do you come out ahead at all?

Knowing how much you can afford, knowing your market’s strengths and opportunities, increasing knowledge on financial matters are all important steps worth taking when planning ahead through assessments.In planning for retirement, through real estate investment, you can capitalize on it as a resource adding extra passive earnings, protecting the existing wealth, and expanding the investment base.

If you have a process, you are ahead of the game. 

If the tenant does show and there is an actual trial set, go to the court ahead of time and watch the process.

Your closing costs usually include Title insurance, possibly lenders title insurance if your HML requires it, you'll pay their points/origination fee, prorated interest for the month possibly appraisal fees or other fees your specific HML require and sometimes the appraisal is paid out of pocket ahead of time. 

Modular is a similar but never an actual vehicle by DMV standards. 

Don't get into the whole story when you call these places just tell them you're a new homeowner, the last owner didn't keep good records and you're putting together a binder of service records for the home so you can get ahead on maintenance.

If and when there are rocky times ahead, you will lose money.

I just talked to my wife and she gave me the green light to go ahead lol :).

If I purchase the investment property in my retirement account, I can't do the work myself - I have to hire out and pay contractors through the retirement vehicle.
