I’m noticing that rent rates are surprisingly high compared to the somewhat competitive and affordable housing pricing.Single-family homes, some new construction are going for mid 300’s and rent is usually $2500 or higher.

@Christina PisaconeNew London County offers unique investment opportunities due to its mix of residential areas, vacation homes, and proximity to coastal spots.

first thing one should do is figure out if they quality the 2  in  5 tax treatment and if the home has appreciated a ton like 250 to 500k which is very common in coastal markets and Denver for instance.. selling would be far smarter than renting. pocket the tax free and find another rental. turning it into a rental you lose that one time tax treatment which in my mind is the very best for real estate. 

No 800 #s and no service centers.

Carlsbad DOES allow short-term rentals in the "Coastal Zone," which is where my dad's place is.Mentor's HomeMariposa, CA80-acre lot2000 sq ft 2/2 home (with an extra study and large living room)Worth approx. $750kThis is more of an emotional project for me.

Just off the 17 and 101: https://www.zillow.com/homes/3018-W-Sands-Dr-Phoenix,-AZ-850...It appears on Zillow, but only because the property manager has it on the MLS.

So, if the surface was high gloss it may need to be lightly sanded or to use a product to take the sheen off of it.

However, once I signed an agreement, they sent me an even longer punch list, approaching $2K for a while bunch of silly things, none of which would deter tenants (proven once I switched away from RL) and all of them carrying ridiculous surcharge prices way higher that one may see even in most expensive coastal markets like CA and NYC.

Ok lets take a step back and please dont take this the wrong way or think I am being condescending however here is how loans go.1. you have the borrower  who I guess was introduced to you and is on BP and talks about doing JV s and deals etc.. 2. you agree to lend money on one of his/her projects.3. you identify the property and the amount your willing to loan.4. your borrower will open escrow so you get a lenders policy of title insurane and insure your docs are recorded correctly.. most will prep the mortgage or Trust deed but most will not prep the note they will want an attorney to do that.. 5.

Pound Sand and buy a new one.
