Dont forget taxes and other expenses go up too so you may find yourself bleeding cash before it gets better over there.

Plus, I got tired of Uncle Sam bleeding me dry every tax year.  

I would avoid laminate, simply due to ware and tear and the way it swells up when its gets wet.  

Nobody wants to read an article about a family renting a house on airbnb and are having a swell vacation. 

I love that my post managed to bleed into yours ;)I forgot if you are more of a leverage or Ramsey kinda guy. or did you just hit the max number of loans you can have?

I bleed purple...though purple is part of the color scheme of the Seahawks, too!

Some bleeding heart judges will make extra allowances for tenants with small children.

You have been holding this property betting on future appreciation that's bleeding cash each month.

That also seems to be a hit for little money.I'd like to redo the floor in the last unit with laminate and have been lucky so far with the other two having laminate floors and nobody mopping them and causing the boards to warp and swell.

Predicting these is impossible, especially over multi-year periods.The other problem of basing a purchase decision on long term guess work is that it often makes the purchase look profitable in the future even though it bleeds money NOW!
