After getting 5 quotes (the cheapest to tent was $2,400), I decided to buy a can of the termidor foam on Amazon for $30 and treat it myself after watching a few youtube videos.

Hi All,Always knew of BiggerPockets and have stumbled on the site from time to time, but after watching some of the excellent webinars and reading the great content on the articles, I went pro immediately.

I have not seen discussion on school taxes on the videos I've watched about analyzing properties.  

Watch the lot rent on those if you go that route.  

That being said, I have no experience in real estate outside of the articles and videos I've read and watched from BiggerPockets.

You can A spend hours and hours on the web watching hour and a half long videos, be clueless of where to go, get sold a training that costs 5k plus (for information that you can learn on the web for free if you look hard enough, bigger pockets,crinoline, youtube, google, reitipster, ..the list goes on forever.

People will be willing to accept significantly longer commutes, because they can sleep, watch TV or work during the commute.

I rent out an apt/condo, I rent out the rooms.Utilities are included with the rent..When doing this it's important to put on lease your utility Caps and to be clear.For example for water my cap is $50 anything above it gets divided by 4 (each tenant)What I notice is very important to these tenants is high speed internet they typically don't even watch Cable TV.

I might also like that there are a lot of people around who fear God is watching or I'd probably prefer the woods but I got a cheap house in a better area that I can afford.  

During the crash, it was so frustrating to watch people let their current home go back to the bank, while they moved all of their cars, boats, motorcycles, and giant TV's to a new cheaper home.
