I am working on my first buy and hold, and I know how i would like it to be if I were going to live in it, but I know renters would trash my perfect carpet and garden gnomes :)    Great work man, hope you find lots more deals !  

Smaller 3/2 homes can be had for $400-$500k in Windy Hill and Crescent Beach, and there's some options worth considering down in Surfside Beach and Garden City Beach. 

My best friend purchased a two family home that was converted from a one family home in Springfield Gardens, just outside JFK Airport. you might be able to find some deals in that area.

Does anybody have a worksheet showing the calculation of how you calculated the ARV of a recent purchase SFH and Duplex in Winter Garden that you can share with me?

I have a house in Winter Garden that I am considering using as a short term rental, but I had heard that they are not allowed in Orange County.  

Does anyone know the laws for Garden Grove regarding "homesharing" Airbnbs?

Or give the residents a gardening area with each one getting a certain plot for locally grown fruits and vegetables.

Hi everyone, I am currently looking to purchase a condo which is a garden/basement unit with strong cash flow potential as a rental property.

That is like saying home sales are up 5% across the country vs knowing your NBHD sales (specific properties) are only selling for about 1% more,Also look at the properties that they are reporting   http://www.realtyrates.com/is-property-types.htmlI don't see 1-4 units.Thanks Bob,I guess I was looking at the Apartment-Garden/Suburban section which is close to the cap rate the wife is seeing in the area for larger apartments.

What a relief I felt reading your reply:)Quick clarification: For the Schedule K copper, likely 1" line, silver soldered where underground, for water main and irrigation, with brass valves, wrapped in black foam jacket before they backfill- Does the copper need a plastic sleeve too to prevent potential corrosion from the soil (or from grass fertilizers/pesticides/stuff in lawn/garden), or is that what the black foam jacket is for?
