Right after I closed on that one the insurance company demanded I make a couple thousand dollars of repairs.

Towards the end of the year I was down to my last couple of grand until I had finally seen the results of my prospecting throughout the year.

Quote from @Pankaj Malik: I’m just really surprised that the tenant is not taking the option to break the lease break with a $ number offered (1 month rent plus reasonable amount for parts of house he wasn’t able to use) that is within a couple thousand dollars of what he wanted anyway. 

We are considering joining a couple mentor groups to build relationships with more investors.

A couple of follow up questions. 1) After the 1031 exchange, and then after the follow on 721 contribution, I own an interest in a partnership held by the UPREIT.

There are a couple of car washes in my local area that are for sale that I am interested in but do not know where to start. 

My experiences were a couple of years ago and I was originally told the appraisal had been assigned and the rate would be $780 but then later I was told that appraiser was cancelled and they'd found someone else who it was assigned it for $935.

For example, I've had a couple of 3+ bedrooms sit for a longer period of time because they only had one parking space available (and no on-street options nearby).

I was asked to join a couple of real estate groups and this one fell in to my hands.

I arrive in Portugal a couple of days ago.
