I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker but it's a bit overkill for my tastes.Political atmosphere in Scranton is way too crazy for my tastes.

They decided that it would be better to just gut the place and build it specifically for their tastes, they would still spend less than purchasing a property in better condition.

People have different tastes than you and I guarantee they are more expensive than yours.

Just a taste of what I started with:

It's an acquired taste, but I like it.

You are more likely to get a slip and fall then a salt eating kid who eats so much they get damaged, the taste is usually self limiting.   

This deal was heavily influenced by personal taste (we would also be living here sometimes) and short term rental needs (had to be furnished, and upgraded) We also hadn't done a ton of REal Estate investing education at that point!

What a shame that Bill and others have such a negative taste in their mouths about gurus.This anti-guru sentiment which is repeated so often here, is keeping BPers from even attempting to learn creative financing or anything else.

For one, because I have enough of them for my taste and for two, because the multis give me better cash flow, better rental income diversification (vacancy in an sfr is 100% when the tenant is gone).

" I would rather taste failure from trying than fear from never taking the first step.
