I do buy some things at Menards out of neccesity like ABS parts and Sprecher's root beer...which indecently is the best root beer on the planet.

My story is different than many.I got out of grad school at the University of Michigan with a Masters Degree in Physical Chemistry of all things and returned to my SF Bay Area roots and went into residential real estate back in 1978.

When people feel a strong attachment to their city, they are more likely to invest in its future, including purchasing homes and putting down roots.

To what extent do you try to capture the "root cause" of your financial results at the account level?

The rest I could bring in with cash to have skin in the game.Additionally, if a deal at this size proves itself difficult I would be interested in doing a SFH with the same LTV to establish some roots in the US, before jumping on the multis.  

It’s the same way as an escrow company if an escrow company collects funds  then Pays the underlining mortgage and then pays you your money and then they get a charge back from non-sufficient funds after they paid you in good faith then it’s up to you to cure the escrow company whether they caught it now or six months from now.I am extremely surprised and disappointed over the amount of people that are rooting for you to allow the property management company to take a loss when they was managing the property for your benefit.

Turnover is the root of evil for a landlord.

The basement wall had a massive crack.The surrounding trees were planted too close to the house that they roots cause tremendous pressure on the walls of the basement.The house was built in 1960, 4 bed/2 bath ~2400 square feet.

Good luck closing that deal I'm rooting for you!  

Poorly managed rentals are about as fun as root canals.
