You'll know you did it correct when you see the name highlighted in blue.

and of course how not to repeat what I did.The highlights (or low-lights) are, not having a solid ARV (I was off by $50,000), not having a repair budget at all, not having any cash or reserves, not having a good team around m, and obviously not running the numbers. 

However, if these people commenting took a positive spin on things they would highlight the amazing possibilities that come with note investing and other types of strategies along with the trials and tribulations.The whole point of the biggerpockets forum is to share ideas, thoughts (negative AND positive ones) and educate each other as much as possible.

Not sure how my post looks on your computer but on mine it's highlighted blue in a certain area which is where I needed to remove information. 

However, make sure your flooring is level with no dips or unevenness (with older homes) because the plank flooring will highlight every imperfection.

You could also sit down with your wife and have a heart-to-heart with her to explain why having your own business means so much to you and highlight how in the w-2 world, everyone is expendable if it's convenient for the employer.

Especially important is your wife's need for a plan that is sensative to her level of comfort with English language, customs and some flexibility as to whether she might live in CA and continue to operate the prooerty as a rental.I might caution that if the property is held in trust, your current lender should not care but should you wish to refi later, title will most likely require taking out of any trust temporarily to close new loan.This is provably more than you wanted, which was a simple, sound-bite answer.

Amazing how many landlords forget to include that here-but highlights how important it is to be careful and put in the time now.

The columns that are highlighted are where I entered my assumptions.  

Any plants that block the view should either be removed or tiered into the walkway to further highlight the way to the door and the sidewalk should be as wide as possible.
