They are a good blend of solid tenant pools, lower (in the case of NJ) cost properties, and high rent rolls.Specific areas are:Winslow - In the areas the are turning around many properties pass the 1% rule and can provide stable tenants (Camden County)Glassboro - Rowan Uni all day (GC)Clementon - Good rent to price ratio and decent tenants (CC)Stockton Area - More university (AC)Folsom - Lower cost, good tenant pool (AC)Monroe Twp - Prices decreasing due to issues with school district, issue will be temporary (GC)

I agree with previous poster that it’s all turning into one huge metro where the numbers are going to start to blend together.

It says right on their landing page that it offer “home equity cash back” so a blend of credit card and HELOC. 3% to 11% variable interest.

Some siding, particularly stucco, can be especially tricky to work with since you need to bust out all the stucco around the window to R&R it, then know how to blend and texture-match to repair it.If you're doing it yourself make sure you know local building requirements so you don't create a code violation for yourself - know egress requirements, where you need and don't need tempered glass, and minimum U-factor and SHGC.

If you do touch up paint when the original paint is a few years old it won't blend in and it will look bad.

So there's lots of blurring the lines and blending definitions on housing in this market, so I wouldn't worry too much about townhomes vs. condos. 

But if there is more profit you would qualify for from the primary residence exclusion then I think a blended approach would be very appropriate and get you where you want to be. 

Have as much paperwork (the note, etc) already done so you get the most out of your lawyer time and don't need to go in for round two.According to what I recall from staying 100% awake and attentive, I promise, during my most recent continuing education class, a lot of the compliance requirements go away if you do a) 2 or fewer private mortgages in a year and b) lend less than $1m in a year.FYI an institutional lender would ensure that the borrower doesn't get a dime of the borrowed funds until AFTER escrow disburses funds sufficient to cover the IRS stuff directly to the IRS, without passing through borrower hands.

This is not an uncommon scenario for blended households - He owned a house and she owned a house and they got married and never bothered to change the deeds. 

We have made it blend in with the surrounding farmland by modeling it to look like a barn, it is being located behind a treeline on the least productive part of the farmland it sits on.
