My husband and I live in Washington State, but love Butte (it's an acquired taste).

Why should I go without my rent just because he either has bad taste in women, or can't do the work to make a relationship function?

It's not just the money, a large lack of correspondence from them also leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

We did still have to go through a cash for keys situation which has left a bad taste in my mouth, but we were self-managing at the time and will not be moving forward.

But, Mitt started to flip flop to much for my tastes, which is to bad because I fell that Mitt had excellent credentials in both the private and public sectors.I may not agree with all of McCain's views, but he is patriot and a man of integrity.

Again I would think that a $10,000 profit on a $200,000 house or even a $100,000 house wouldn't be as big a deal, but from my experience a $10,000 profit on a $20,000 house can leave a bad taste in an investors mouth.As for financing for one day for a double closing, that would be up to your closing agent or closing attorney.

I got a bad taste of that with my divorce and don't go there."

Soooooo busy....long shifts....tired me....BUT....definitely a source of inspiration to get more properties and kick this thing in gear.I want to add to everyone that this is exactly the kind of discussion that I was hoping to have...many amazing suggestions from lots of great folks....experts in their fields debating the merits of their different strategies...and debate over which ideas presented would be right given the parameters of the original question....and for everyone's input...We (probably everyone on BP as well) am/are truly thankful.I do believe that it is possible for everyone to have their own passionate beliefs about REI strategies(or anything for that matter)...and as they say...their is more than one way to skin a cat....that we have so many EXPERTS that are willing to join into such a discussion is also a blessing, because we are able to learn from so many different points of view.I hope that the spirited debate currently going on does not hurt anyone's feelings however...threads like these can easily have meanings misinterpreted (much easier to talk about these things in person) and without intending to people can wind up coming away with a bad taste in their mouths....That just seems to be the nature of online debate...but I feel that the players here are...for the most part...understanding that this is all for learning purposes...and that I would hope we could all go out for a beer afterward....figure a way to use the best of all strategies together and all come away with Lambourginis!!!  

I am just wondering if it is an okay plan to look for a place that I am comfortable in even if some other less expensive options provide better cash flow in an area that I do not want to live or a house that has not been updated enough for my tastes?  

I just had my 2nd son and got a taste of freedom with 2 months off.
