@Sam Leon If you show them the access hatch under the cabinet with the brushed aluminum handle…that will get your appraisal up there where it belongs

Never invest in a city if either the state or city populations are static or declining.

Then he refused to recognised his promess, he refused to refund me my hearnest money and gave me a brush off about the roof.

@Ken P.Something static like that can easily be done with an IRA held by a trust company as custodian.  

Below is a sample list of renovation items from a property manager:Paint all cabinetsInstall 9 blindsReplace the missing drawer front in the kitchenInterior paint - 100% (specify the specific paint to use)Install smart key locks (4)Replace the master bedroom ceiling fan (use fan #XXXX)Remove the trim around bathroom mirrorsReplace 8 brass door knobs with brushed nickelOutlet covers and switch cover plates - severalRice paper on the fogged window (1)Replace thermostats (2)Cut back trees from the structureYou now have a list, but no costs.

Asking tough questions is a great way to vet potential real estate syndication deals and sponsors.If you feel as if you aren’t getting clear answers or are getting brushed off, take that as an indication of how you’ll be treated throughout the project.

I suppose if your location is very static manual still works but all it takes is one convention, concert, graduation, etc and you've missed a revenue spike.  

Where do you find your statics?  

That was a really tough time to get a loan and they believed in me.Local banks and credit unions also know the area so they can adjust a bit from a larger macro brush used by bigger banks.Positives of local banks:- you develop a relationship so you can someone you know and talk through a deal before you even offer on it- less broad strokes on requirements- longer fixed terms 10 year fixed is not uncommon (think hedging future interest rate increase)- most have no prepay penalties (this is huge and give you many options) If you cash out refi after a BRRRR and then 1 to 2 years later a buyer shows up a your door with some unbelievable price, you can sell without prepay penalty calculations.

Do not buy anywhere if either the state or metro populations are static or decreasing.
