do you have issues with the city if there are cars parked on the street or lawn?

I know her prediction doesn't state today, but for activity to jump in February and then again in May to June that doesn't appear to be in a common volume trend of a "normal" year if that exists anymore!

Not likely), vacancy (@ 8% for me), and a possible PM (10% normally).I recommend you reach out to a local seasoned investor and have them run your #s with you, as the #s depend on how you manage it (how hands on you are) and also local pricing.

For my car, I saved $200 a year on insurance by not getting coverage for my front windshield (which when I did have it replaced cost me...$200).  

To me, renting an apartment or a "normal house" would cost more and I'm ATLEAST getting rent towards ownership/equity.

Do you eat out for lunch every day, get coffee twice a day, have a new fancy car, and buy the latest trends?  

There's been a tremendous amount of new home construction in our area, even before Covid and the new houses have very small yards with no parking besides their 2-car garages.

Normal repairs are absolutely NOT covered by insurance.

It was a very long drive. 18 hours in total on the open road, I would sleep in my car along the way and live off of gas station food.

I am actually doing a flip right now and hard money lender isn't the easiest to give us a loan for the rehab (draws verse pulling all at once, which is normal).
