A neat feature with xfinity (no I don’t work there 😀) is the voice remote and once you have one box you can stream the service to the rest of your TVs cutting down the cost of extra cable drops. 

Now most people in CA do not feel $100K is a lot but to the rest of the US its a big chink of change. 

For example, I imagine in a market like Detroit, a neighborhood, at-large, may be filled with mostly Class A properties (in comparison to the rest of the surrounding suburb and/or city); but, I would think that the quality of these properties can be further subdivided within themselves too.

MartinThe situation in Switzerland is particular and completely different than in the rest of Europe.

Pretty much my first step should be work as a loan officer and then the rest will come to me?

@Dmitriy Fomichenko scratch the part about being taxed at the capital gains rate, you’re right that it is taxed at income levels, however the rest stands.

Both groups are showing up with a clear purpose, need a good night's rest and want a safe place to live close to where they work/study. 

That's all the 1% rule does, is help you sort out what MIGHT be a deal with analyzing and ignoring the rest.

I guess it will take another 2 to 3 years to get the rest of our my money back if D32 builder is really sincere to pay it back. 

I'm interested in a similar approach: live in one unit and rent out the rest.
