I'd be more worried about the future performance of Mutual Funds than I would be about signing a personal guarantee to pay back the mortgage on my own well chosen and value-priced properties.Eggs in different baskets is a fine strategy, but shouldn't property investing factor higher than a maximum of just 20% of your available cash?

Hello everybody, I am 23 years old and graduated with a finance degree from a school in Florida in May.

They sometimes have top brands as returns under the counter at rock bottom clearance prices (inside secret:)) Yes, go with a soft grey as it's more neutral, opens  up the space and it's not the regular boring beige.Quartz is harder than granite,  however Quartz can burn if a  hot pot is left on it too long:)Countertops: request quotes on granite, quartz and laminate, before making a final decision.If you have more questions, let me know.MB

However, and surprisingly, the HOA lawyer is demanding a steep $1,650 in so called "HOA lawyer fees" in addition to $1200 HOA dues.For past properties, I have worked directly with the HOA to negotiate a final HOA amount and paid it off.

When it’s time to ask for their business, instead of pushing prospects to to sell using some outdated closing tactic or trick, tell them in advance that at the end of your meeting they will need to make a final decision.

Ryan Mullin is an expert for inner city Indianapolis and his team has been doing a fine job with the 5 homes I own there.

If needed I could use the equity I built up in a property to cover it, still the loss of an amount equal to gross rents for 3 houses for a entire year is an unpleasant thing to consider.This brings up a final thing I think all investors need .... resiliency. 

I am 'buying' Property Management so I want to buy right.As a final question to BP, have any other investors noticed this same trend in Property Management, that they keep finding ways to charge us? 

I have been a landlord since 2005 and will retire from the AF in about 4.5 years.
