I mean even if you bought a good property if U sell it in a year or two sales costs will create a loss in almost all instances.. real estate usually has to be held 5 to 10 years in these types of markets to break even on the resale or make a profit.

For instance I am in process right now in Portlandia  tough competitive market.. bought house right off of MLS system for 400k during the escrow period we were able to confirm 2 new lots  25X 100 each on each side of the existing home.. had to knock down a fence.. but by the time I closed i had the house which need about 5 to 7k in fluff and buff and 2 lots.

For instance the last one I closed on was a 28,000$ cash deal with about 1,000$ repairs to put in a tenant at 650$ a month.

In general Clean and neat are acceptable in my area in most instances.

Remember in most instances 30 day is not 30 days it is a rental period.

I work with a team renting out SFH.I am the newer of the group and simply put they all say no pools.They simply aren’t open minded to it and don’t want the liabilityBut I want to educate myself so I get it’s a liability but for instance if one day I plan on having my own rental SFH or even duxplex, triplex or apartment, how or what is the best way to go about renting one with a pool?

For instance, you buy for 100k cash, several years later you refinance for 150k, then 2 years later you sell for 200k paying off 150k, you would need to reinvest 50k cash into your 1031 but purchase at least 200k for your 1031. 

For instance, there are several houses in our area listed between $100k and $120k that would rent for around $900.  

I have had small instances where a pm did not complete work they said the would or even claimed to have completed. 

If for instance I have zero debt, and my income could carry 2-3 mortgages; and that still be <50% of my income;  Would there be a problem with me scaling a house every spring for the next 3-5 years purchased as a primary and moved into a LLC?
