Finally, the cost of a college education has outpaced inflation, due to federally guaranteed student loans allowing universities free reign to raise tuition and fees.

This may change some valuations but nothing will likely be finalized in the next 12-months.

There so many answers here I'll just drop this thought you can think about.....It all depends on how hard you want to gamble when that large insurance claim finally does happen.Lastly, you want Waivo for small damage claims not your homeowner's insurance.

Please let us know if you finally do it!

I'm a long time lurker finally getting ready to start making a move and getting that first rental property.

Was curious if anyone had a final solution to help on the accounting side of everything.I use QBO for my other company (marketing agency) but hate it and it's not built for RE.

We plan to spend the next 6-12 months continuing to earn and save, as well as nail down a final market we want to househack in.

Some say we have to buy the house with them or we paid too little for the property and finally after going back and forth and submitting all our paper work and paying for appraisal they now tell us they didn’t realize that the property had so many bedrooms and they said they do not loan to properties with so many bedrooms.
