If the water's that hard, you're going to be having routine trouble with mineral buildup and corrosion in all your plumbing that you're going to have to be on top of.

-Financial success is far more about how you behave than what you know.

If we just play it safe and let someone else plan for our "passive income years", we won't be having passive income. 

@Elmer Bonilla You can find solid deals in all 3 markets, but Columbus behaves more like Austin TX than a city in Ohio...the city has one of the strongest financial positions in the nation right now with AAA bond ratings and rainy day funds maxed...with a windfall of tax revenue...all during COVID-19.

Because of the way the tenant behaved I demanded mold testing so I can have written proof it was remediated.

I don't have to rent to the worst ppl because it doesn't matter if it sits empty an extra month, returns are so good and I don't be have a mortgage payment.

But they seem to be having difficulty finding a roomate and don’t want a new lease made with just the two of them on it.  

Hi all,I found a medical office space in Laurel, MD; 6 units with1500 square feet each unit; I will be using 3500 square feet for medical/dental practice; planning to rent remaining 5500sft;a) few buildings away there is new university medical office building being built and will be ready by october 2021; they have 50 spaces available and will be having medical practice obviously (similar to my practice); Is it bad idea to buy this property? 

It is hard to know whether subsequent recessions will behave like past recessions, but I can say with a lot of confidence that STRs are not recession resistant (even in drive to locations) and in my market they were more impacted by the GR than LTRs (which had very little impact in my market due to so much housing sitting empty - rents stayed the same and vacancy rates did not increase in the San Diego market).   

They should not be having a pest control company here.
