Though I'd rather sell it for a lower price then fix and maintain the HVAC, but a non-working HVAC could deter buyers. 

I met with prospective managers from my current employer to discuss transfers and such.

Additional heat will have a nominal fee, which would deter abusers. 

Hello Big-Pocketeers,

I am a newbie and a fan, keen to make my way into Real Estate investing. Here is the skinny.

My wife and I have recently moved into the California Bay Area. She is working, I am currently not...

We told them to ask the other neighbors for access, which Im assuming they said no.We would prefer no lines on our property as it deters buyers and even with an easement it is less attractive.

I would be interested to hear the input from local market participants on which markets, sub-markets have the best prospects on a 3-5 year hold. 

Your success here depends on the quality of your list but good quality generally speaking could be 1-2% (so $25 - $50 per lead)FB prospecting is very untargeted as the person has shown no intent (you're probably just going to use targeting such as the zip code and potentially one or two other factors that you can target with using fb relating to home ownership and income or debt levels).

The neighborhood is growing with new establishments such as the New East Side Market getting ready to open right up the street from your prospected investment.

I guess I could get hurt a bit if rates are high when that happens, but in a 'crash', the Fed is going to bring rates back down.4) The real threat seems to be in overpaying for a SFH or MFH in a market with less than stellar growth prospects. 

Listening to Brandon's Podcast here makes me think that i need to buy a property that is falling into a sinkhole and covered in black mold and then get my "Justice League" of contractors to fix it up before I can make a profit off of it (using the BRRR strategy).I desperately want to jump off the high dive into real estate investing but Im deterred because I dont want to buy a property with more cigarette smoke damage than a 1950s casino.
