I have seen too many investors create a truly beautiful property but a much higher end product that is out of the market norms cutting deep into their profits.

Not being there and knowing the local market, I still think there may be an option to hold that house and deal with the negative CF for a year or two....allowing the natural market equity increase to catch up.

If the trip is primarily personal in nature, the traveling expenses to and from the destination are not deductible even though the taxpayer engages in business activities while at such destination.

I'm and CA girl who's now in PA... loving nature and excited to expand my contact list and grow my Company portfolio!

I would ask if it is natural gas or propane. 

Congrats - beautiful design

I just viewed what looked to be a beautiful 3 unit in the photos a few days ago, but when I got there it was apparent the building had a natural gas smell in the basement, plus the owner pays all heat for the building since there is only one furnace.

“The lightbulb is in excellent working order and comprised of a beautiful retro teardrop illuminator, offering original glass and metal features and located very centrally in the middle of the room.

That could be expensive , if you are tying in to natural gas at the street , 5 grand and up . more if they have to cross the road . 

I am also a natural introvert, but have learned that putting myself out there and getting uncomfortable is a skill.My biggest suggestion would be to go to as many local in-person meetups as possible and find the people who are "moving and shaking" to become friends with them.
