Some here will tell you all tenants hate their landlord so factor that into your actions.

While I did spend about $15K on renovations, that amount doesn't need to be factored in for this discussion.

As you allocate your budget, I'd suggest factoring in a decent portion for interior design/furnishings and amenities.

There was positive population growth, medium home price growth, low unemployment, good rent to home ratios, and low crime, all of which are factors when I start looking into an area to invest in.  

For many, if not most, this is likely to be after a workout, coffee, and around 10:00 AM in the morning on a weekend day or on a vacation day.

The reality is you need to move off a few factors---fast solutions have slow problems, due diligence, have a healthy safety blanket reserve wise. 

Then, I typically see them take about a half to a third of that number for the adjustment factor.

Several factors indicate the company is not that concerned about efficiency or ease of customer process: the website, a process that seemed to focus on one issue at a time instead of all issues at once, and consistently poor communications and lack of common sense from the loan analyst we were assigned.It started off very well with the initial point of contact, Austin Lornson, who did a fine job of explaining the general refinancing process, responding quickly and thoroughly to our questions.

Hi Chris, As financing costs will be a big factor in determining profitability, you should be asking HMLs for proposals to fund.
