Smokey is behaving unpredictably right now.As we all know, hindsight is 20/20.

I seem to be having trouble tagging multiple people in the same post, was going to ask @Andy as well.  

My only tweak to your/his plan would be…Have you compared the tax rate of Hawaii and California?

The rest is up to how the tenant wants to behave.

To change a neighborhood you either have to change the way the population behaves, or it cycles out - gentrification usually.When you look a little closer you will see that prices and rents are definitley not the same!

They haven't been trained and the owner may not know how the animal will behave when it comes to potty training, barking, digging, chewing, etc.

Some companies may already be having trouble justifying a move to Texas over the recent rulings that allow states to make individual laws for abortion, with Texas' law being particularly difficult for some to swallow.

These liens are definetly a lien, but there are various exceptions to it and it doesn't quite behave like other liens.

This not only ties up the Asset Manager's and banks time but also can be a major waste of a Realtor's time, when the investor walks on the bids they decide they don't want.So with that, you may be having to put down as much as 5% EM and if it's a multi-family or commercial listing having to agree to let the EM go hard (meaning you waive an inspection period) so you could wind up losing your funds if you or your Realtor don't know what their doing.I always tell my clients if we are showing a HUD or other REO have your inspector or GC available to walk the property that day.

Yes, we will be having our monthly meetup on this Wednesday with Whitney Sewell guest speaking.
