This can usually be easily fixed by marrying new beams but we did find one house where it was the center support beam and there was physically no way to get in a beam long enough to cover the span of the width of the house without cutting a hole in the side of the foundation/or upstairs wall to get it in.

I install electric water heaters in my units because they are cheap and easy to replace, Ace Hardware sells 40 gallon units for $299, vs a power vent Gas one is $749, and life span is about the same.

I have also been a carpenter for 8+ years experience over a span of a decade and a half, so I have more than a basic understanding of evaluating the condition of a property.    

Pacolet Pointe contains an ideal unit mix comprised of 8 one-bedroom units measuring 616 square feet each, 4 one-bedroom units measuring 588 square feet, 16 two-bedroom units spanning 777 square feet each, and 8 three-bedroom units encompassing 936 square feet each.

Although we enjoy our fields, we enjoy our free time and time together far more.We took a road trip spanning a month across the western states and into Canada. 

Getting deals today in Atlanta (every hot market) is a long patient process spanning many calls often spanning many months to EACH seller.  

How old are the various components on the house, what are their remaining functional life span, and figure out the costs for them.

With 5 mortgage payments, PLUS rental, we would be able to achieve full ownership of the property in a (relatively) short time span.

So if you buy and hold long term in Coastal So Cal (i.e. did not sell when the markets have depreciated) it has historically been virtually impossible to lose money (if you try real hard you may be able to find an area where you could have owned 10 years and lost money but you would have to try pretty hard to find that area and that 10 time span). 

I would like to build a long term relationship to span multiple projects per year.
