Also if you are holding for 10 years you can just about be assured of some appreciation. 3.

Sometimes, the assurance of having trustworthy tenants that you actually like transcends monetary calculations and contributes significantly to the overall enjoyment of property ownership (especially when you're neighbors).

As it relates to self-managing a large portfolio, I can assure anyone that if you have a great property from the beginning, no let's say you have 40 doors from Day 1 that are all properly renovated, you will not have more maintenance work in a year than one good full-time handyman can handle. 

I can assure you the employees involved in trying to help are good people that were doing their best to try and help solve the problem and didn't have any malicious intent.

But rest assured, any built-ins, any woodwork, doors and windows, anything "nice" in the house that you put it once upon a time for yourself to enjoy is going to get damaged.I am closely related to a guy who moved out of his house five years ago to a new house, with the intention to fix up the old property a bit and rent it, and yet his old house has sat empty for five years and he's paid holding costs for out of pocket.

I hope you like smokers, because they all smoke like chimneys and have no regard for flicking butts on your property....eventually my parents went on a trip and of course the sober house people had a perfect view of them loading up their luggage, and what ya know after 25 years of not a single crime...they were burglarized, by a homeless junky ******* that was friends of one of the residents or was a previous resident....The sober house operators were ******** and not cooperative....their are more than a few of their patients were loud obnoxious gang banger types, giving the hard stares and intimidation types of attitude.Lastly.... on more a general note... the affordable health care act made some seriously horrible changes to the way insurance can deal with addictions....it used to be that their was a limit to how many sober claims a patient could make, and then the insurance company turned off the tap....now, a patient can relapse as much as they want and the insurance has to allow them back into another sober program...it essentially incentivizes the sober programs to fail, because it assures them a steady flow of repeat customers.Lastly, I found the few sober house operators that I came into contact with, during this time, to be vile phony insurance fraudsters and street urchins, acting like their title made them actual healthcare providers.Just my 2c...and sincerest apologies to the 10%(if that) of the industry that are a really providing a quality and ethical service.

I'm fully capable of giving myself a dad-level "you effed up, own it" lecture, and I assure you I have.

Anyway;;  that some info on where there are assured sub to purchases. 

I’d love to build in Galveston/crystal beach if I could be provided assurances 

With my unwavering commitment and meticulous attention to detail, rest assured, I will provide outstanding assistance to fuel your success.Thank you for considering my request.
