Dear BPers,An investor is selling 5 houses, each one is currently rented for $900 per month, bundled together for $350K.

I approved her as a tenant.Another approved applicant a few years ago had either a judgment or an outstanding department store bill on her background check but provided proof that it had been paid. 

Dear Grosses Poches!

Although with the amount of crap I had to go through with the historic district department it felt like I was being fined.  

I have been learning the wholesale side of real estate investing by running the deal analysis department of Eggleston Realty.

I have friends that own and operate a B&B in Cashmere Washington...but they had it built specifically for that purpose so they have their living area and then 4 suites they rent out and one commercial kitchen that is used obviously for the guest breakfasts and their personal use.You would want to check with your local (County or City) Business License-Permit Department to find out if you can legally operate a B&B in your home at the property you reference.  

Go to the local police department and look at crime statistics by area.

If you are not planning on holding the departing residence for a minimum of 8-12 years as a rental which still might not be long enough to take a hit to the equity that's there and recover it fully (if it takes such a hit), then sell now and redeploy the equity into your new house (if you are so inclined) or invest it into any number of principle protected low or no load investments that can return at least as much as it will likely earn as equity...with no risk of loss of principal.  

Establish a criteria that you feel works for what you wish to accomplish and hold on to it for dear life.
